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.
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.
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 / 28 days ago

I use snapdrop.net for non android-to-android since it works with every device including Apple, Windows, Android etc. No need for an external app as well. Not the most accurate answer for the question, but just the solution I use for a hassle free experience. Source: 11 months ago

3rd way: Use snapdrop. Open https://snapdrop.net/ both on the host OS and your Waydroid. On the host, in the site, you should see the waydroid device. Click on it, select the file, and wait for a while if the file is big. Then, you should see a prompt on your Waydroid, which allows you to download. Source: 12 months ago

Snapdrop.net ( (website for iPadOS and app available for Android). It's the closest thing I've seen to airdrop. Supports multiple files at once and it's a great experience. However, it experiences major downtime. Source: about 1 year ago
I found this (snapdrop), haven't ever heard of it until just now and haven't tested in the wild. It seems like all it requires is a browser, and two devices on the same network. Source: about 1 year ago
