  There’s the research project OpenDrop from a few years ago:

  github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop

  (Disclaimer: I had a student job at SEEMOO and wrote my thesis there, though I was not involved with OpenDrop)

    Upvote for disclaimers like this. We need more people who openly share potential conflicts of interest:)

      Is this really a case of conflict of interest though?

      • FundMECFS@anarchist.nexus ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        It’s a potential one. Rather people flag anything that could be a conflict of interest, whether they think it is or not. Than be silent about it.

  I just use localsend.

    Which is great, but it doesn’t solve the interoperability problem of being ng able to AirDrop shares between someone’s iPhone/MacBook and your Linux/Android

      How so?

      • dev_null@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Localsend doesn’t support Airdrop.

  We can already rsync, why would we want airdrop?

  • themurphy@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Because these rules are not about you and me, but are important on a much larger scale.

    How do you rsync between an android and iOS device? Is it as simple as airdrop?

    source

    • Korhaka@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      No idea, never had an iOS device

    There is also neardrop

    • B0rax@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      But NearDrop is not compatible with airdrop, is it?

      source

      • EtzBetz@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Oh true. Confused that one. It’s basically going the other way around.
