Upload APK File Online
— Free & Instant
Upload your .apk file and get a shareable install link in seconds. Distribute Android beta apps to testers without the Google Play Store.
Why developers skip the Play Store
Distributing Android apps through the Play Store is standard for production, but it's often the wrong tool for testing and rapid feedback.
No review wait times
Google Play internal testing tracks can still take time to propagate and sometimes require review. BetaDrop gives you an install link the second your upload finishes.
No Google account required
Don't force your clients or testers to sign in to a Google account just to see a prototype. BetaDrop links work for anyone with the URL.
Perfect for CI/CD
Automatically upload your debug builds and get a fresh link for every commit. It's the friction-free way to keep stakeholders in the loop.
Build Your APK
Generate your APK from Android Studio, Gradle, or your CI/CD pipeline. Debug or release builds both work — whatever you need to test.
Upload to BetaDrop
Drag and drop your .apk file onto BetaDrop's upload area. Files up to 512MB are supported — no workarounds needed.
Share the Link
Copy the generated install link or QR code. Send it to testers through Slack, email, WhatsApp, or any channel you prefer.
No Play Store Required
Skip Google's review and internal testing tracks. Upload your APK and share it directly with anyone who needs to test.
512MB Upload Limit
Large games, media-heavy apps, embedded ML models — BetaDrop handles APK files up to 512MB with no compression needed.
No Tester Account Needed
Unlike Play Store internal testing, testers don't need a Google account or email invitation. Just share the link.
Works with Any Android Device
Any Android device can install apps from BetaDrop links. Testers just enable 'Install unknown apps' in their device settings.
Secure Distribution
Files are transferred over TLS, stored securely, and accessible only through unique links. You control distribution.
Instant QR Code
Every upload generates a QR code alongside the install link. Perfect for in-person testing and demo sessions.
