LocalSend - An open source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop
LocalSend - An open source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop
LocalSend is not exactly an alternative to AirDrop. In LocalSend, two devices must be connected to the same LAN to share files with each other. In AirDrop, no LAN connection is necessary. Files are transferred directly between devices, similar to Bluetooth file sharing between devices.
PairDrop Is a very nice alternative to AirDrop and it works even on different network!
are you reposting the post just before this one?
What's the diffrence from KDE Connect?
KDE connect on iOS doesn't yet have the file transfer feature completed. I was surprised by that when I was looking for a good way to airdrop from my desktop Linux to my work iPad.
Works well, but struggeled when I tried sending 100+ files or a 80gb files folder. Don't know if my phone was the limitation factor, but the app crashed.
But a very cool software to easily and fast share some files!
Was already posted about in this group just a few hours before - https://beehaw.org/post/7621751. Always worth doing a quick search before posting.
Yup. Been using it. Like it. Between my tablet and phone.
Would this work to send files to my iPad from my Linux desktop? Because I'm still looking for a good way to do this.
yes as long as they are on the same network and it's not a restricted one
Oooh that's going to be really handy.
Have a look at PairDrop that works even across different networks.
