- felixr 6y ago> sets up an ad-hoc WiFi connection ... No network required. It does need a network, that's why it creates one using an ad-hoc WiFi connection.
- JoBrad 6y agoThe creation of this ad hoc network is seamless, invisible to the user, and doesn’t require _external_ network hardware.
- capableweb 6y ago> False > sets up an ad-hoc WiFi connection > No network required Guess we have different definitions of what a "network" is. I'd call that a network, of two devices.
- avianlyric 6y agoI think the important difference is that AirDrop doesn't require you both to start on the same network for discovery, which SnapDrop does.
