  • We are working on Zynk (zynk.it) to solve this problem.

    It's like croc/localsend/wetransfer combined, works on all platforms and all devices. Register once and sign in on any of your devices, it works whether you are on local network or not. There are no size limits, you can send terabytes of your data across the globe, without worrying about connection dropping or something going wrong.

    You can add other people who use zynk as contacts via their username or their e-mail and send them anything you want.

  • If you like Snapdrop, you'll love croc!

    I used Snapdrop before they got bought and found it pretty reliable. It sometimes would not transfer and I went exploring.

    I used magic-wormhole-based Warp and liked it, but now I use croc of getcroc.com for almost everything. Whether it's sending files to myself or others, it's just the most flexible and seems to be reliable and fast from my use.

    (I haven't been using it super long, but I heartily recommend.)

  • I wanted to try it out, so i fired it up on my laptop and my phone. The laptop experience was pleasant, but on the mobile, the ads seemed to be covering the nearby devices, and it felt like full scam-ware.

    So close, yet, so far.

  • Why does this look exactly like https://pairdrop.net/ ?

  • 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.

  • I have used localsend. How is snapdrop this different from https://github.com/localsend/localsend?

  • But SnapDrop was sold to LimeWire from what I remember, wasn't it? I have it on my (somewhat popular) list https://gist.github.com/SMUsamaShah/fd6e275e44009b72f64d0570...

    Edit: so that was SnapDrop.net this is so confusing now. Are you the author of that GitHub repo?
