- zimpenfish 6y agoI use Syncthing for this kind of transfer involving non-Macs although that's because I'm always transferring between a set of known hosts, not ad-hocly. Works well enough.
- em-bee 6y agosyncthing is great, but i find it a bit difficult to use for one-off or one-way transfers
- mmwelt 6y agoSnapdrop[1] works quite well if you're on the same network. It's cross platform, you only need a reasonably recent web browser. [1] https://snapdrop.net/ https://snapdrop.net/
- ljoshua 6y agoI pine for the days of drop.io to return before it was acquired and dropped (BA-dum PSH!). That was, hands down, the best and easiest way to get files from one place to another.
- spieglt 6y agoHere's an alternative to AirDrop! https://github.com/spieglt/FlyingCarpet https://github.com/spieglt/FlyingCarpet Linux, Mac, and Windows, requires no network, just two laptops with wireless cards.
