Inspired by Apple’s Airdrop
I found LocalSend to be significantly more reliable than Snapdrop. Also it doesn’t require hosting.
Good luck installing this on every device you want to use it on.
Well, yes, I did just that. Not sure why that would be an issue.
See the other guy whom replied, there are plenty of reasons you can’t install it on every device.
But can you use it to send to a device where you can’t install stuff?
Where would that be?
If you want to send something to a computer in school or a work PC or something without admin rights.
snapdrop / sharedrop work in browser, without any installation, and that’s the point. As much as I hate web apps, sometimes they are your only option.
I agree that localsend is great when you need to exchange files between your devices often, but when you quickly need to send a file to someone’s PC without admin rights, snapdrop and sharedrop are a faster way to achieve that.
Oh, snapdrop is back? The site has been unreachable for years to me
It’s been so unreliable. I switched to PairDrop.net, a fork that works just as well and has better uptime.
I prefer Sharedrop it allows transfer between networks and has a better up time
