I've tried a lot of similar tools for sending files between devices in local area network and found that https://localsend.org works best. Yes, it requires an application installation, but the transfers are much more faster and reliable when browser is not involved. And its Android application works nicely on Google TV/Android TV, so I can send files there easily.

OpenDrop

An open Apple AirDrop implementation written in Python

Would be cool if we sometime would get <a href="https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop">https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop</a> as an android app (but it would only work with rooted devices). This would allow to send and recieve files to iPhones from android via Apples Airdrop protocol.

Do consider Syncthing particularly if you are using Android. If using apple iOS you'd need the möbius sync client. https://syncthing.net/ https://www.mobiussync.com/ One thing that it beats the cloud / centralized sync on is because the connection is direct between devices when the initial transfer is completed the file is completely there on the other device. With a cloud type of sync you do the transfer twice. I've seen stack up on large media or with the structure of cloud services pricing making it expensive depending on how your workflow is setup with inside and outside parties. For example, Dropbox deduction from all parties' storage limits not just the sharer. You can also point Syncthing at a local sync of Dropbox or Google drive and then forward the files to other recipients from that for some purposes.

An app like "Share via HTTP" does that for you. You would not teach her how to create a Wifi Ad Hoc network for AirDrop either. <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MarcosDiez.shareviahttp">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MarcosDiez...</a>.
