I use the magic of AirDrop as well :) Unfortunately, sometimes I'm on my Linux machine (in which case python3 -m http.server works just fine), or need to send a file to someone else and then I'd like to have at least some form of monitoring/progress.
Edit: magic wormhole is awesome! Thanks! :D
- dijit 6y agoOpenDrop works very well on linux for airdrop between linux+macos. Provided of course that you have a wifi card that supports active monitor mode.. and you are root on your machine. https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop
- ramses0 6y agoThere's a moderately useful one I've used quite a few times: https://snapdrop.net/ https://snapdrop.net/ It _imitates_ the AirDrop UI, but is not compatible. Use case is you open up snapdrop.net on both devices (nearby? same wifi?) and you can send files between, but I believe it all goes through a central server. Great for sending a few photos from phone to laptop or linux device when AirDrop isn't an option.
