Ask HN: Airdrop alternative that works on all platforms?
2 by NayamAmarshe | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I've been looking for a convenient AirDrop alternative for a while for Android - iOS - MacOS and Linux. My only requirement is that I should be able to easily share files like AirDrop's share menu option from Android to MacOS or MacOS to Android (or Linux/iOS). I've tried LocalSend but it's a bit of a hassle and doesn't have any share shortcut on MacOS or Linux. I've tried PairDrop but it's a webapp and is extremely slow compared to LocalSend for some reason. The best one I've used is NearDrop but it can only send files, not receive them. Aren't there any good alternatives that simply just use Wi-Fi to send and receive files without too much of a hassle. I don't really need a full-blown GUI like LocalSend, it's slow and adds extra steps in file sharing.
