I'm honestly kinda shocked we've not managed to bridge the airdrop gap.

Quickshare is hit or miss

Wetransfer wasn't bad but didn't like corporate networks.

Dropbox and Bitwarden send are OK, but you have to email/sms links.

We should have blue tooth beacons and 900mhz Halow by now.

I use LocalSend. It apparently works on Macs too but I've never tried that. Windows/Linux seems to work fine though!

I use LocalSend ALL THE TIME between my Linux machines and my iOS devices. It's faster than AirDrop.

I can say LocalSend from iOS to Fedora works flawlessly.

There is a way to share files across and between all platforms (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, Linux):

Local Send

As long as you are in the same network as the recipient you can share everything across this app. There are no limitations in file type or size. I use this app constantly to send files from phone to laptop or PC, and I can highly recommend it. It's free.

The recipient doesn't even need the app, as you can provide a qr code that can be scanned by the recipient from your phone to start the download of the shared file(s).

That does look really promising. I was trying other sites like that before, but every time i hit a corporate network, they failed to connect. this one looks more robust

I just send a link to a public folder in my Nextcloud. You can also add huge files to your email with the Nextcloud plugin in Thunderbird. Still have to send a link but best option for me so far.

Not a bad idea. Nextcloud interface was just so damn slow last time I tried it. 7th gen intel running containers, everything else is fine, nextcound was taking 10 seconds to finish loading a page :(

IDK I just rent server space for 5$/m for 1tb and it's super fast.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Wow, where are you getting $5/m with 1TB that's fast?

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Hetzner storage share. Librecloud is also good.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago

outstanding price, thank you!

I'm not sure what I would send to an apple user that couldn't be done over text, they don't exactly tend to be tech literate.

Developers, photographers, project managers, they have their niches.
