localsend VS photon

I tried most of these apps some time ago, and the best ones for large files were Landrop and Localsend. If you have a VPN, you can use them to transfer files remotely too.

Have you tried LocalSend⁽¹⁾ before?

I share the same experience with Snapdrop-like websites, self hosted or otherwise, where establishing connections would have a 30% failure rate, speeds progressively deteriorate on very large files, and bundling files together would need them to zipped first which can waste time. LocalSend has none of these issues and has been rock solid in my year of use so far, and I also like that it can send plaintext easily, which fills the gap sites like SimpleSavr and Pushbullet would normally cover.

The only caveat is that you need to have the application installed on all the devices you want to use it with (so it's not a true universal AirDrop or QuickShare alternative) but for your own devices, this is fine.

I agree and get your point.

But localsend has worked well for me. Yes, it requires an app but if we could get vendors to bundle that rather than a boatload of bloatware.

I know that it would be to optimistic to hope for Google.

Something to consider, although I'm not sure how much it practically matters.

It works like a charm, and is really easy to use

Use local send to send files and folders.

I've recently discovered and can recommend LocalSend. It's FOSS, cross-platform, and it just works. Github page with more details here

I tried photon and it works well. https://github.com/abhi16180/photon

consider using photon its the most fastest and easiest method I've found https://github.com/abhi16180/photon

there's also the windows version, one of the easiest wireless file transfer that just need to be in same network (either wifi or mobile hotspot, no need for data). PC -> Android, just scan the QR Code while Android -> PC usually has automatic device discovery.

Photon

I used apps like: LocalSend QRServ Photon LanXchange

The problem is there is data going from my devices to each other but how to be sure that data doesn't leave my network to the internet, For example iam using Photon for Windows and Android which supposed to work locally but how to be SURE?????

Photon (version 2006): cross-platform file-sharing

Thank you for work sir, waiting for fdroid release, can you add material you theme to your app ? It will look pleasant, just like Photon app
