    Why not just use LocalSend? Open source, simple and cross-platform.

      This looks amazing. I made a horrid version of this like 8 years ago. Eventually would just pass stuff around by putting it in my nas

        i read this as “pass stuff around by putting it in my ass” and just didn’t question it for a solid 15 seconds

          I read it this way even after reading your comment, assuming they’d edited their post…

          Me too! Didn’t notice it until I read your comment. “Putting stuff in your ass is a weird way of file sharing… Maybe they are just sharing really illegal stuff?”

      Man. I had no idea LocalSend existed. I’ve been looking for something like this for ages. I’d been using Snapdrop on and off, but it was pretty unreliable.

      I use MacOS, so this shit has never been as simple for me as it should be!

    PairDrop.net does the same via your browser. I think it’s more or less the same mechanism, just no install needed and fully cross platform. Just visit the site on both devices and share stuff.

    The snapdrop app on fdroid gives you an easy share intent to use.

    I tried it when it was in beta, seems to work fine but KDE connect is just better and doesn’t use bluetooth

    Is it just on my end or it takes about half a minute for the Windows device to detect the Android device, but not the other way around?

    I hope it gets better I tried it with my phone sitting right next to my PC, and it was so slow… settled on about 35k/s
