SMBDrop

Your photos.
Straight to //your‑nas.

SMBDrop moves photos, videos and files between your iPhone and your own SMB shares — NAS, Windows, macOS or Samba. No account. No cloud. No subscription.

Coming soon to the App Store Requires iOS 17 and an SMB server on your network.

How it works

Three steps, then it just runs

Connect a share

Enter your server's address and sign-in. Find Shares lists the names your server actually exports — pick one instead of guessing. Custom ports supported.

Pick anything

Photos and videos from your library — drag to select a range — or any file from the Files picker. Live Photos keep both halves.

Send, and walk away

Transfers continue after you leave the app. Failed items wait in a durable queue and can be retried — nothing is lost silently.

What you get

Built for people who run their own storage

Originals, untouched

SMBDrop sends the exact bytes in your library. No recompression, no renamed files, no stripped metadata.

Import back

Browse your shares and pull files onto your iPhone. Every import is verified byte-for-byte and never overwrites a local file.

An imports library

Imported files stay in the app — preview, share, save media to Photos, or send them on to another share.

Keychain-only credentials

Server passwords live in your iPhone's Keychain and nowhere else. Deleting a share deletes its password.

No middleman

Transfers go device-to-server over your network. Your files never touch anyone else's infrastructure — including ours.

Works with your gear

Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, UGREEN and most NAS devices, plus Windows and macOS file sharing and Samba on Linux.

Data collected: none

The privacy policy is one sentence long, more or less

SMBDrop has no account system, no analytics and no tracking. There is nothing to collect and nowhere to send it. Read the policy.
