- anaganisk 5y agoI was never able to make file.pizza work either on lan or over the web.
- jerrygoyal 5y agoto point out this is different and needs network data to upload and download files.
- dzhiurgis 5y agoTried using Sharedrop and it was super slow. Way quicker to just upload to wetransfer.
- crossroadsguy 5y agoHaving actual apps go a long way. Especially if it’s trying to be an AirDrop like app and these apps not being electron apps is such an added bonus.
- nguyenkien 5y agoI prefer PWA like snapdrop. All you need is a browser.
- edwinyzh 5y agoTried snapdrop, but it didn't work. Not sure if it's related to the GFW....
- luke2m 5y agoEasily self hostable as well
- yvbbrjdr 5y agoYeah I've also done my research and found a lot of similar stuff. The problem with this particular one is it requires Internet* to work. I don't feel good about WebRTC and having to share my public IP address for such a task. Also, it requires you to open a webpage every time you use it. I'd really like the user experience of AirDrop that you need to do nothing to receive files. So I made LANDrop a daemon-like stuff. * It has a mode that you can save the page offline, but that doesn't work with iOS.
