But SnapDrop was sold to LimeWire from what I remember, wasn't it? I have it on my (somewhat popular) list https://gist.github.com/SMUsamaShah/fd6e275e44009b72f64d0570...

Edit: so that was SnapDrop.net this is so confusing now. Are you the author of that GitHub repo?

I have used localsend. How is snapdrop this different from https://github.com/localsend/localsend?

I've used a bunch of similar tooling like airdrop and localsend. I don't have alot faith in them a little since they usually choke on large files or many files. I'm still looking for something that works well in those cases without resorting to a cable / MTP which isn't fantastic either.

I wanted to try it out, so i fired it up on my laptop and my phone. The laptop experience was pleasant, but on the mobile, the ads seemed to be covering the nearby devices, and it felt like full scam-ware.

So close, yet, so far.

Why does this look exactly like https://pairdrop.net/ ?

I'll usually go with pairdrop.net, never failed me!

If you like Snapdrop, you'll love croc!

I used Snapdrop before they got bought and found it pretty reliable. It sometimes would not transfer and I went exploring.

I used magic-wormhole-based Warp and liked it, but now I use croc of getcroc.com for almost everything. Whether it's sending files to myself or others, it's just the most flexible and seems to be reliable and fast from my use.

(I haven't been using it super long, but I heartily recommend.)

We are working on Zynk (zynk.it) to solve this problem.

It's like croc/localsend/wetransfer combined, works on all platforms and all devices. Register once and sign in on any of your devices, it works whether you are on local network or not. There are no size limits, you can send terabytes of your data across the globe, without worrying about connection dropping or something going wrong.

You can add other people who use zynk as contacts via their username or their e-mail and send them anything you want.

Amazing how many people here do not seem to know this.

It is like Airdrop but for interdevice transfer!

PC to Mac to Iphone to Android to Linux to Windows etc. to almost anything that has a browser. Directly, no intermediate.

I prefer Pairdrop though (fork).

This can be very useful.

Indeed my Android phone sees my Linux PC. And the PC can send a file to the phone. At first the file transfer to the PC didn't work and the icons just twitched. After 5 minutes it works now strangely enough.

I've had this need recently and noticed that tailscale is extremely useful between phone to mac transfers as well. I mean you can also technically use airdrop too, but that sometimes is unreliable for me.

I like the way this thing just use without setup no sign up, just send, just use

File transfers do not work. Even after allowing microphone access on both ends.

does my file stay local?

So does this host the files? For free? How long before ads start / you have to register / subscription model, etc?

I like localsend mself

Use Tether!!

Terrible service. I used to use it back in the days until it starting going down all of the time. Switched to localsend and never looked back.

What year is this?

Really helpful

good work!
