Move text, files and folders between your own phone and computer — iPhone to Windows, Android to Mac. No share links, nothing left behind.
Open PockaSign in to the same Pocka account on each device once. After that, transferring files between devices takes two actions: put it on the shelf, take it from the shelf. If the device has a modern browser, it works: Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android.
Pocka is not cloud storage. It is a short stop between two of your devices, for the moments AirDrop doesn’t cover: iPhone to Windows, Android to Mac, a work laptop to a home PC.
An item waits on the shelf only until you take it, and never longer than 24 hours. Once taken, it is removed from the server after a few seconds’ undo window. Nothing piles up, and there is nothing to clean up later. How deletion works
Tools that skip sign-in hand you a link or a code, and you still need email or a chat app to get it onto the other device. With Pocka, both devices are signed in to the same account, so whatever you put on one is already waiting on the other. You sign in once per device; every transfer after that is just put and take.
No folders to create, no file tree, no share settings, no pages to dig through. One shelf and two actions.
Drop a folder on a computer and your browser packs it into one zip before upload. In Chrome or Edge on a computer, Pocka asks once where to save, then rebuilds the folder as it was. Other browsers and phones download the zip. A folder counts as one item, with the same 10 MB limit.
Most handoffs need nothing more than HTTPS. For sensitive items, set a personal key and lock them. They are encrypted in your browser before upload, folders included, so the server only holds data it cannot read. Pocka never receives your key. How the lock works
Most people move files between their own devices by emailing themselves, messaging themselves or using a cloud drive. Those work, but each one leaves a copy behind that you have to find and clean up later.
| Pocka | Email to yourself | Chat app to yourself | Cloud drive | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What you need | A browser, signed in once | Your mailbox on both devices | The app on both devices | The app or site, and a folder to pick |
| After you receive it | Gone from the server | Stays in Sent and Inbox | Stays in the chat history | Stays until you delete it |
| While it’s still uploading | Start taking it on the other device | Wait until it’s sent | Wait until it’s sent | Wait until it syncs |
| Whole folders | Yes, zipped for you | Zip it yourself | Usually zip it yourself | Yes |
| Size | 10 MB per item | Set by your provider | Set by the app | Large files |
Yes, during the beta. Each item can be up to 10 MB, and each account can keep up to 50 MB on its shelf.
No. Pocka runs in the browser on each device, so there is nothing to install or update. Bookmark it, or add it to your phone’s home screen.
No. Put something on the shelf now and take it from another device any time within 24 hours. If both are open, the other device can start taking it while it is still uploading.
It is saved or copied on that device and removed from your shelf. You get a few seconds to undo, in case you tapped by mistake.
Everything travels over HTTPS. For extra privacy you can set a personal key and lock individual items so they are encrypted in your browser before upload. Pocka never sees that key, so it cannot be recovered if lost.
Yes, from a computer. Drag it in or use the folder button; it travels as one zip and counts as one item. Chrome and Edge on a computer can save it back as a folder; other browsers download the zip.
Yes. Signing in on both devices is what lets an item go straight from one to the other, with no link to copy and forward. Use Google or email. Your shelf belongs only to your account; there are no public links.
Your shelf is one click away.
