At work, it asked for a device code between a Windows computer and an iMac. I have no clue where to find that information. I tried inputting the same number on both computers but that didn't work.

They ask for your email address - OK. But, after you get their email and after you confirm your email address, they offer you two options:
1 - to go on their website
2 - to menage your preferences (!?)
Under No. 1 - it is impossible (again!?) to enter their website (it returns you to "Android subscription")!
Under No. 2 - they ask for your full first and last name!?
Not good for privacy!

It would be great to be able to share with those devices, too...

FileDrop a standard application, so that you just have to launch, connect, transfer file, and quit, that's it. And that's why I like it over DropCopy: for most of the time yon won't need to have a persistent service waiting for connection all the time.
For those who have trouble pairing devices: first check the version of FileDrop on each ends. Then make sure all devices are connected in the same "broadcast domain". Please note that two devices may not be in the same broadcast domain even their subnet number is identical. And some routers or WiFi APs may sometimes blocks certain broadcast pockets (such as mDNS used by Bonjour.) You may consult with your network administrator for this. If still fails, there might be something "chattery" in your local network, such as DLNA.

Also, having a persistent service waiting for a connection has its advantages; namely not having to trot over to the other computer(s) to launch an app, or having to contact the owner of the other computer(s) to ask them to launch their FileDrop.
I'm a satisfied user of DropCopy, and have been for years. It is Plug and Play. FileDrop *may* also be just as easy, but after reading your comments I'd be hesitant to try it. Sounds like FileDrop has the potential to be a complicated hassle.

Sorry, but you have to do *EXACTLY* the same broadcast domain configuration when you're using DropCopy.
These type of applications must rely on the broadcast service to identify paired devices. You're OK when you just hook your computer and iDevices to a low cost router when you're at home; both DropCopy and FileDrop will run smoothly without glitch. But when your local network is getting larger (more than 50 hosts,) it would be a pain in the ass to add a persistent broadcast service into the network.

Apparently does the same as AirDrop, so... I don't get it.
