I’m using FilePizza when I need it, saw it on HN recently. All this AI magic allegedly taking our jobs, but we still can’t transfer files from one device to another, or print a document reliably.

Found it on hn years ago, still use it all the time. Perfect replacement for Firefox send, rip
One of those apps that "just works". Been using it recently to share files between an Android phone and my Mac. Turns out it works better than Airdrop itself when I couldn't send a file from my iPhone to my Mac. Great user experience as well.
Really? It has been by far the fastest and simplest option I've found and use across all my devices these days. Not that I looked very deep though, like pairdrop and such.
LocalSend requires the devices to be on the same local network. TFA is about file sharing using a direct device-to-device wireless connection.
We've had ad-hoc WiFi for about 3 decades, but that requires a level of device access that no gatekeeper will agree to anymore.
Well, one gatekeeper. Wifi direct/aware seems to work fine outside of iOS and Mac os.

To continue the thread, my favorite is https://drop.lol

It's slow as suffering in hell.

So what's better than this?
+1. Easy to use and works on every platform. Also supports sending plain text between your devices (into clipboard of recipient).
Not the same.
