Portal by Pushbullet VS OpenDrop

Portal.pushbullet.com is now closed down, I used it pretty often to transfer files from PC to phone, it's faster than FTP and USB. Source: over 2 years ago

Portal by Pushbullet should work to transfer files while on the same network, but requires the portal app on your phone. Source: almost 3 years ago

Would be cool if we sometime would get https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop 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. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop not like you can't spoof airdroping... Some hacker on the plane is laughing, this poor sob has no idea why he is having to spend a shitload on a lawyer. Source: 10 months ago

I guess that wouldn't be convenient because they'd have to press several buttons. Possibly also Airdrop is faster? It uses direct wi-fi transfer (and bluetooth at the same time, somehow). Seems there are open-source reverse-engineered implementations written in C and Python: OWL in C, OpenDrop in Python. Source: over 1 year ago

I've been trying to make getting AirDrops on my Laptop possible for some time now and I can't do it. My best attempt yet was using opendrop inside of a WSL, but it didn't work. So I wanted to asked if anyone has a way that works to get AirDrops on a Windows Laptop. Source: over 1 year ago

I agree that it is frustrating when you can't simply send a file via bluetooth to an Android for instance but projects like these really make issues like that less of an issue. Source: over 1 year ago
