   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.

   🏁 Competitors: AirDrop by Apple

  Https://upload.teknik.io/ Seems to be pretty promising, have to create a free account to have the files be kept longer than a day https://upload.disroot.org/ Again pretty promising, only downside is a small preview image so downloading the file is a must to see details Https://fileup.pro/ as simple as it gets it seems.

• Ask HN: Those who use an Android and macOS, how do you manage sync?

  Https://snapdrop.net/ is a great solution that unlike KDE doesn't require installation. Along with https://webwormhole.io/ they are my go to for transferring assets between systems. Both use WebRTC. - Source: Hacker News / 9 days 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 / 2 months ago
