snapdrop.net does. It works locally in your network Peer2Peer

  It doesn't do what airdrop does, although it is a step better than Sharedrop, in that it doesn't require the data be sent over the internet. But it still has a lot of extra hassle that airdrop doesn't have. If you're away from home, you first have to enable Mobile Hotspot to create a wifi network (and pay your carrier for the right, since it's usually locked down in Android), then manually connect your other device to that wifi. Airdrop skips all of that. If Airdrop is open, it's scanning via bluetooth for another device with Airdrop enabled (it doesnt even have to be open). Then they instantly agree on an ad-hoc network and connect, all invisibly to the user. So you don't do anything at all. I wish a Android developer could accomplish this.

    I see your point now. Here no phone with a Contract is locked anymore, and certainly no Bullshit like "locked Functions" that you have to pay extra for like Tethering. So it's not a huge hassle to quickly spin up a hotspot. But Android offers a Airdrop-Like-Feature natively called "Nearby Share" but what still sucks in my POV that there is still no Cross-Plattform-Solution between iPhones and Android out there
