• The Rise and Fall of 3M's Floppy Disk

  I agree and get your point. But localsend has worked well for me. Yes, it requires an app but if we could get vendors to bundle that rather than a boatload of bloatware. I know that it would be to optimistic to hope for Google. See https://localsend.org/ Spread the word. - Source: Hacker News / 28 days ago

• LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices

  But they also have Terms of Service (https://localsend.org/#/terms-of-service) which are not so great:

      You represent that you are over the age of 18. The Company does not permit those under 18 to use the Service.

• Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop

  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. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• iPhone Copy to PC Shortcut

  Edit: This is very simple implementation, even a POC, for personal use between our own devices at home or other personal private network. Even works on hotspot. But no HTTPS, so don's use on non-private networks. LocalSend, as suggested by u/Fede777 seems to be better for every other use. Source: 5 months ago
