Would be cool if we sometime would get https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop as an android app (but it would only work with rooted devices). This would allow to send and recieve files to iPhones from android via Apples Airdrop protocol.

https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop not like you can't spoof airdroping... some hacker on the plane is laughing, this poor sob has no idea why he is having to spend a shitload on a lawyer.

I guess that wouldn't be convenient because they'd have to press several buttons. Possibly also Airdrop is faster? It uses direct wi-fi transfer (and bluetooth at the same time, somehow). Seems there are open-source reverse-engineered implementations written in C and Python: OWL in C, OpenDrop in Python.

Is there any way to get AirDrops on a Windows Laptop?
1 project | /r/techsupport | 1 Dec 2022

I've been trying to make getting AirDrops on my Laptop possible for some time now and I can't do it. My best attempt yet was using opendrop inside of a WSL, but it didn't work. So I wanted to asked if anyone has a way that works to get AirDrops on a Windows Laptop.
