Microsoft is working on a new feature for the Edge browser called Drop. This feature, called Drop, allows sharing files and notes between devices with Edge, similar to AirDrop.
This newly revealed feature has an edge in the desktop version of the Edge browser and resembles a messaging app where you can only message yourself. Let’s take a look at the details and screenshots of the feature together.

prompts based on what the screenshots show With Drop, you can transfer almost anything between devices, whether it’s text or file attachments. So you will be able to use Drop as a kind of cloud storage. All you have to do is install Microsoft Edge on the device you want to transfer files to.
In one of the screenshots we can see that Edge is showing how much space is currently being used in the user’s OneDrive account, which indicates that files sent via Drop are live on OneDrive and apply to your storage plan.
At this point, you might wonder why you wouldn’t use OneDrive directly, but that wouldn’t be the same as AirDrop or Opera’s My Flow. Here is the direct browser. Drop is currently only available to Microsoft Edge Insiders running the latest version available on the Canary channel. So even if you’re on the Canary channel, you may not see the feature yet.
If you want to try the Drop feature right away, you can try to download the latest Canary version of Microsoft Edge. What do you think about the Drop feature? Please do not forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.
