   A Complete waste of time from a 4 decade mac pro user

   Takes forever to send even small video files with high speed internet. Horrible documentation for transferring instructions. No option in the app menu to choose a destination folder. There's no way to compress all of your videos on an android to send to the Mac, even though that is suggested in their "features". And not 1 single video could I find in 2 hours of google searches that answered these questions. For a company touting such "ease of use", as a 40 year mac user, this was another waste of time app. If the company would like to contact me and answer these questions, if it is indeed an "easy, reliable app", I will gladly help them make a video that actually walks people through the problems I have encountered.

   Excellent way to share a folder with multiple files to another computer

   SnapDrop does an excellent job in sharing multiple files to another computer. Just zip/compress a folder with multiple files and select that zipped folder to send to the other computer or mobile device.

• Issues with Aurora Store

  There have been significant problems with the Autrora Store in recent days. Are there actually similar alternatives? Yalp Store is not active anymore and APK downloaders (e.g. https://raccoon.onyxbits.de/) require a google account. It is possible to download certain apps via e.g. Yalp Store/APKPure etc ... But some apps, such as official bank apps, are only available through the Play Store. Or should we wait... Source: over 1 year ago

• WebRTC API

  Snapdrop.net is one of many examples of the uses for this API, using it with WebSocket API allows endpoints on the same local network to distribute files and send data between them. We can find the source code for the project here. - Source: dev.to / 23 days ago
