AmiDrop is a lightweight native file receiver for AmigaOS 3.0+ Think “AirDrop, but for Amiga”…
Latest version is 1.1, updated 2026-08-31 is made by Andreas “Andiweli” Stuermer and it’s MIT licensed. Source is on GitHub too.
Including native AmigaOS 3.2 version, AmiDrop_MUI is also out! This MUI version of AmiDrop 1.1 got the same file transfer engine, same features, with the window built on Magic User Interface. But now it even works on AmigaOS 3.0 with MUI 3.8 or later installed.
