LocalSend is amazing!

Love LocalSend. No more carrying USB sticks around the house for large media files.
I've been using this for a while now, and it's been amazing.
I like it, it sometimes doesn't find the other device but it's a cool app!
Anyone here using this and Pairdrop? I've been using PD for a while now and I'm wondering if I'm missing something by not using this (as well)? :)
Was about to ask the same thing, been pretty happy with pairdrop
Will give it a try ,i use normaly KDE connect
One advantage of LocalSend is that you can transfer files to other people's devices on your network with no more setup than installing the app (and connecting to the same network).
The person must approve the transfer, and by default, only that transfer is approved. You don't need to remember to unpair the device after.
You can set up a permanent automatic transfer approval for everyone (not recommended) or just selected devices.
So much better than riftshare! Its great.
