If you want a easy, reliable and cross-platform way to share files between computers, phones, etc, it may be of your interest.
I have been using it for the last ~6 months and found it to be very useful and easy to use. Transferring stuff between Android phones, Windows 10 & 11 PCs and a Steam Deck (i.e. Linux PC) has been a breeze.
I installed it and immediately felt like it was one of those apps I’d been waiting for my whole life.
I like LocalSend, much easier than KDEConnect, and also on F-Droid. But I have to confess that I usually send photos via Signal on mobile to myself and then open Signal app on the desktop to download it.
I’d use pairdrop over this so I don’t need to install it on all my devices.
I stopped using pairdrop/snapdrop because it doesn’t work on native wayland chrome/chromium due to webrtc.
Another reason to use Firefox?
It’s about webrtc, which the support on Firefox is even more poor.
Seem to be quite a few of these types of apps, I’ve been using landrop recently, how does this one compare?
I kid you not, I was actually looking for a solution like that yesterday! hopefully it’ll handle a few tens of gigabytes between my two Linux laptops.
This is one file at a time. It’s designed more for very quick “Oops I need that photo” sort of stuff.
What you want to do is better served by NFS, SMB or SFTP.
It does actually support several files, folders, or anything.
NFS, SMB or SFTP
ugh.
Use Syncthing.
Works a breeze, does require an install on the devices, but man it just works.
You also can send the files between a laptop and a phone just by connecting to the phone hotspot. (At least with Linux)
