Why not just use LocalSend? Open source, simple and cross-platform.
Thanks for making me aware of this cool tool!
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!
KDE Connect also
KDE Connect is better than anything these two juggernauts can conceive of.
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.
This is something we should have had a decade ago and knowing google it’ll be dead in a month
Does this work over Wifi or only Bluetooth?
I’ve been trying the beta out from the day it was released. Bluetooth needs to be turned on.
I believe it’s WiFi with no extra configs or port forwarding.
I’m honestly just going to stick with LocalSend - that’s all this is, but Googles
Just tested it. It needs Bluetooth :(
My PC doesn’t have Bluetooth and I can send files both ways between my PC & phone.
I didn’t know this existed, I’ve tried warpinator and wormhole but they are blocked at my office. I’ll try LocalSend, thanks for sharing!
I tried it when it was in beta, seems to work fine but KDE connect is just better and doesn’t use bluetooth
Why is it still called Beta? I uninstalled the beta version, then installed the new one.
Has anyone built a decent Linux solution for this yet?
KDE Connect and Warpinator works well for me
I’ve always said: there has to be an easier way to catch a virus.
This has been a godsend since it came out
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
