As a Debian and Android user, can anyone help me understand how AirDrop and this python implementation differ from or are similar to Syncthing and/or Firefox Send? Is it basicly the same idea?
- lelandbatey 5y agoSyncthing and Firefox send both incorporate a 3rd party publicly available server which both parties contact over the general internet. Airdrop is done direct device to direct device, without intermediate, over wifi.
- jacob019 5y agoSyncthing is p2p, a relay is supported for when both clients are behind NAT on different networks. It supports local network discovery, but the use case is different. It's for syncing files between your devices, not one off transfers.
