At this moment the app works only in Chrome and Opera, because Firefox doesn't support HTML5 FileSystem API. There's a polyfill for that, but we had some issues with it, so we've decided to release it anyway. We'll continue working on Firefox support. The whole source code is available on GitHub (https://github.com/cowbell/sharedrop), so anyone can help.

#15I had a look at doing this myself recently to do iPhone -> Laptop transfers. Does this work for mobile -> desktop? I didn't think that WebRTC was available on mobile safari and therefore wouldn't work.

#19*edit: I guess 'clone' is too strong. I meant to imply it has similar functionality, not that it is carbon copied. Yes, I goofed.

#20Noob question: It seems like websockets is more appropriate for sending files to peers, why would they go for webrtc?
