Securely send private files without creating another cloud album.
AmazingDrop uses end-to-end encryption to send photos and videos to people you trust. The relay delivers encrypted transfer data, then removes it after successful delivery or when the plan-based retention window expires—24 hours for Free, 48 hours for Plus, and 72 hours for Pro—whichever happens first.

What is an AmazingDrop ID?
An AmazingDrop ID is a receiving handle that other people use to send you encrypted transfers. It identifies the recipient—not one specific device—and is not your Apple ID, email, or phone number.
What the relay server does
The relay server temporarily helps deliver encrypted AmazingDrop transfer data between sender and recipient. It stores encrypted transfer data plus the account, device-key, quota, routing, referral, report, and delivery records needed to operate the service, and removes the transfer data after delivery or expiration.
What the relay server cannot see
The relay server cannot see your original photos and videos, thumbnails, Vault password, recovery phrase, or decryption keys. It does not receive plaintext transfer media, plaintext thumbnails, or content-decryption keys.
Transfer limits and quota
Free, Plus, and Pro all support sending and receiving. Free includes 2 GB of monthly transfer usage, shared between sent and received transfers, with up to 2 GB per transfer. Plus includes 100 GB per month and up to 20 GB per transfer. Pro includes 1 TB per month and up to 100 GB per transfer. Additional usage, if purchased, is valid only for the current subscription period.
Amazingface is available now for iPhone and Mac. A native Windows app is planned.
