   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.

  > My fave is https://snapdrop.net it's so funny how everyone have a favorite.

• Nick Polyak's Software Articles are Coming to Dev.To

  For many years (more that a decade) codeproject.com used to be my home for publishing software architecture and development related articles. Now since codeproject is unfortunately unavailable (hopefully only temporarily) I plan to make Dev.To to be my software blog home possibly with mirrors at other software blog hosting web sites. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
