I've used a bunch of similar tooling like airdrop and localsend. I don't have alot faith in them a little since they usually choke on large files or many files.

I've used a bunch of similar tooling like airdrop and localsend. I don't have alot faith in them a little since they usually choke on large files or many files.
I'm still looking for something that works well in those cases without resorting to a cable / MTP which isn't fantastic either.
- mhitza 15d agoI can't report on percentage improvement, but after a long time localsend recently pushed out a version that claims to be much better (to be read as faster) for the transfer of large/many files. For a long time the issue was blocked because of an upstream library, maybe LLMs finally unblocked the devs to push the fixes through.
- smusamashah 15d agoWebwormhole.io should work theoretically on file of any size because it does not keep the file being downloaded in memory/cache first. It downloads as a file as soon as it starts. In practice, I have used syncthing to transfer many giga bytes data from one work computer to other because syncthing uses lot more discovery protocols etc to work around restrictions.
