    Source, for the Obtainium users

    Pretty cool, the advantage over LocalSend is likely, that no Wifi network is needed.

    (With localsend this can be circumvented by creating a hotspot on one device and using that in the other. And Localsend has a well made Flatpak)

      Thanks for sharing. I didn’t realize that localsend also works on iOS, but I guess the more the merrier for open source quality and choice development.

        Localsend works reliably via wifi, not sure about this ad hoc wifi, no idea how that works

          Ad Hoc is like the real AirDrop. It creates a Network between the two devices that gets disconnected afterwords. The Advantage is that you dont need wifi or to activate a hotspot.
