  • How long does it take to transfer a file?
    It varies by cases. For now the transfer speed is at 330 kbps and continuing improving. Therefore, the bigger the file is the longer it takes.
  • How does LiveDrop work?
    LiveDrop uses any display as the “sender” and any camera as the “receiver". At the sending end, a random file is encoded into a moving data matrix in which the entire file is integrated regardless of format or size. At the receiving end, the data matrix is scanned, the data is received and decoded back to its original format. This whole process takes place completely offline. This means the only hardware you need is a random display and a random camera.
  • Are my files uploaded to the cloud?
    All your files remain securely stored on your local devices with LiveDrop. This innovative technology does not rely on cloud storage or third-party servers. Instead, LiveDrop leverages advanced edge computing and computer vision, ensuring that the entire file transfer process is executed locally, with the highest level of efficiency and security. This means your data is not only faster to transfer but also protected from external vulnerabilities, giving you complete control over your digital assets.
  • Is there a limit to the file size?
    No, there is no limit to the file size. Sending a bigger file simply takes longer to scan by the receiver.
