I found LocalSend to be significantly more reliable than Snapdrop. Also it doesn't require hosting.

4 1 ReplyWell, yes, I did just that. Not sure why that would be an issue.

But can you use it to send to a device where you can't install stuff?

I'll try. Snapdrop is almost good

I prefer Sharedrop it allows transfer between networks and has a better up time
6 0 ReplyAlso PairDrop. I tested a few of these sharing apps and found this one to be slightly better for reasons that I can no longer remember.
7 0 ReplyAre you selfhosting it? Were you able to set it up to work even with devices on different networks with turn/coturn server?

Oh, snapdrop is back? The site has been unreachable for years to me
5 0 ReplyIt's been so unreliable. I switched to PairDrop.net, a fork that works just as well and has better uptime.

I currently use KDE Connect. Is it similar?
2 0 ReplyIf I don't remember wrong, KDE Connect needs to be installed on both the devices you need to transfer file/text to/from, with Snapdrop (and PairDrop) you just need to selfhost it (or use the official website) without the need to install anything and they *can *work even when sender and receiver are on different network
2 0 Replythanks.
does it allow filesystem expose as well, or just sending files?

What is the filesize limit? Is it better than Mozilla's list of Send instances or ToffeeShare?
1 0 Replyi think there is no limit (at least on the software side), because it's local network only, so nothing is uploaded to a server but directly to the recipient. i could be wrong though.
1 0 ReplyThere is no limit implemented, but it constantly failed to get an 8gb file to be transferred between two VMs. LocalSend is more reliable in my case.
