The recent work I've been doing has required a lot of sharing files between testing devices (and my Mac). AirDrop should be the ideal tool for this but I've recently found it to be unreliable.

Instead I've been using LocalSend which is an open-source AirDrop alternative and it's been working fantastically. The only real downside is that you have to open the app on both sides for the share to complete, but it has been 100% reliable so that’s a tradeoff I'll happily make.

@_Davidsmith https://file.pizza is another great browser based option that’s been around for ~10 years

@finnvoorhees @_Davidsmith FilePizza may look nice at first sight but compared to the amazing and simple LocalSend (which works inside a local network) it is overly complicated and has drawbacks. 1) FilePizza needs Internet access 2) FilePizza needs WebRTC to work so it will not work in some browsers 3) FilePizza has its limitations
