localsend VS sharik

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.

See https://localsend.org/

Spread the word.

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

Edit: This is very simple implementation, even a POC, for personal use between our own devices at home or other personal private network. Even works on hotspot. But no HTTPS, so don's use on non-private networks. LocalSend, as suggested by u/Fede777 seems to be better for every other use.

Sharik- We couldn't figure out a way to select multiple photos from the gallery. Whenever I select one photo, it automatically sends it without giving me the option to choose more.

Someone recommened me to check out sharik https://github.com/marchellodev/sharik

Obtainium (For app Updates) Sharik (For cross platform file/text sharing especially via hotspot)

no problem. also I just remembered another one. sharik is open source and available on fdroid but I have barely used it so I couldn't give you an opinion.

It's called Sharik

Sharik available for all cross platforms you can also send files & text across devices

Sharik?

When on the same network, you don't even need to host anything. Look at sharik.

Sharik Or Snapdrop

For file transfers within my LAN I use sharik.
