Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about encrypted transfers, retention, and shortcodes.

Do I need to create an account to send or receive files?
No account is required! You can send and receive files, code, notes, and links immediately as a guest. Simply upload or write what you want to share, get an 8-character code or QR, and the receiver can open it right away on any computer, phone, or tablet.
What kinds of files can I share?
You can share any file type, including photos, videos, PDF documents, spreadsheets, presentations, music, apps, code files, and compressed folders. There are no restrictions on file extensions.
Can I upload multiple files at the same time?
Yes! You can select or drag and drop multiple files at once. When you share multiple files, RunDrop automatically packs them into a single neat folder so the receiver can download everything together in one click.
What happens if my internet connection drops during an upload?
Your upload will not be lost! RunDrop automatically saves your progress. As soon as your internet reconnects, the upload picks up right where it left off, so you do not have to restart from the beginning.
How does the in-browser code runner and preview drawer work?
RunDrop includes a built-in code editor for 13+ popular languages like JavaScript, Python, and HTML. You can format your code with one click, run JavaScript and Python directly inside your browser to see output instantly, or open an interactive live preview drawer to test websites and HTML designs without installing any software or apps.
Can the person receiving my code run it or test it on their device?
Yes! Anyone who opens your 8-character code or scans your QR code can view clean, easy-to-read code with line numbers. If it is a website design or script, they can open the live preview drawer and test it interactively right in their web browser.
