LocalSend is not exactly an alternative to AirDrop. In LocalSend, two devices must be connected to the same LAN to share files with each other. In AirDrop, no LAN connection is necessary. Files are transferred directly between devices, similar to Bluetooth file sharing between devices.
PairDrop Is a very nice alternative to AirDrop and it works even on different network!
Same LAN is the same as same Wifi?
Would it work between two computers? Even if one of them doesn’t have Bluetooth?
Yes if they’re on the same LAN.
Thanks. I’ve just tried and it’s cool to have that equivalent to Airdrop 👍
Oooh that’s going to be really handy.
Have a look at PairDrop that works even across different networks.
are you reposting the post just before this one?
Would this work to send files to my iPad from my Linux desktop? Because I’m still looking for a good way to do this.
yes as long as they are on the same network and it’s not a restricted one
