Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop
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.

A passenger airdropped a bomb threat to everyone on the plane.
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.

Smartphone sales are so bad even the holidays couldn’t help, says IDC
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?
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.

The Rise and Fall of 3M's Floppy Disk
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.

iPhone Copy to PC Shortcut
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.
