If you do switch to Android, deregister your phone number first from iMessage (google the Apple support page). You can text from your PC or Mac using https://messages.google.com. For Airdrop, you can try snapdrop.net. You can share photos from Google Photos.
Mac to Android (and between any two OSs that have a web browser and file manager) file transfers can be done using Snapdrop - basically a cross-platform, web based version of AirDrop with no setup, but the devices have to be on the same Wi-Fi network. If I remember correctly, it's open source so you can host your own version if you'd rather not use the online version.
It can do files or text (possibly an alternative to clipboard sharing)
Snapdrop? Just go to https://snapdrop.net/ and make sure the two devices are on the same WiFi network. Works on all platforms and no need to install any app as it's a PWA.
AirDrop works seamlessly but snapdrop is also hassle-free except for having to connect to the same WiFi. You also don't need the other person to install an app or have a vendor specific device.
I know this may not be what you're looking for but I discovered it recently and been using it a lot, snapdrop.net - you'll have to be both on the same wifi but it seems to fit my needs
The by far best solution for this is https://snapdrop.net. Just open the website on both devices, then you can instantly share any file and text input. I use it all the time between Linux and the iPhone.
I advise you to get away from that crap
It collects enormous amount of data with heaps of ads
I personally use Snapdrop
Just open the site on two devices and it just works
The Android messages web client + snapdrop.net makes for a great combo.... not sure what else you're looking for? I used a Pixel 2 with my MBP for years and there was nothing more satisfying than unplugging my MacBook from its charger and putting the same cord in my phone. It was a great pairing, and I honestly miss it now that I've moved to iPhone.
I use https://snapdrop.net
Just open this website on both devices while on same wifi and can transfer stuff quickly with no setup. Works great for grabbing photos off device while at work so you don't risk syncing stuff you shouldn't over a cable.
Assuming it's an Android phone, after the transfer is done set the phone back to charge-only mode. Then it's up to Android to disconnect politely.
I'm getting used to using https://snapdrop.net for transfers rather than plugging in. It's pretty magical.
I mean it's not a native feature for Android. Google probably wants you to use the cloud and if you don't want to use the cloud then you can just connect your phone with a USB cable or use a USB flash drive.
If you really, really are adamant about avoiding third-party apps then you can use a site like https://snapdrop.net/
If you only want to send files between devices you could try:
Make sure your devices are in the same network and open that website on both devices.
I think it's the easiest solution for only sending files
Anybody tried snapdrop.net , transfer files on all devices in your network. And you don't need to install anything. Windows, Linux and Android. Also can send texts. Nitroshare is good but it's not working in mint 20.
Not that I know of, sorry. I do remember QuickPic having that feature but I've never really used it.
That being said, I've always used the website Snapdrop to transfer over WiFi, it's really convenient as you don't need to install any apps to transfer. It works on any devices too including PCs and other phones as long as you can open the site in a browser.

Filedash is great! For non-OnePlus devices, there's also a similar solution called Snapdrop. Doesn't even need an app or anything - the only requirement is for both devices to be on the same network (which can be done by simply creating a hotspot on one device and connecting to it on the other, as does Filedash). It's also open-source.
I like Snapdrop. It's a no frills no bullshit file transfer utility that can share files simply by opening the browser. It is supposedly inspired by Apple's Airdrop and ironically isn't supported by Safari or IE.
For anyone who has problems with AirDrop or has one or more not supported devices/systems: try Snapdrop https://snapdrop.net
You just need a browser on both devices (devices must be in the same network).
Honestly the best way would probably connecting both to a PC to move files over since you've probably got files in several locations (DCIM, Downloads, Pictures...)
Otherwise putting everything in a zip file and using the Snapdrop app or website (over WiFi, FOSS) should work.
Syncthing would probably work well too from what I understand. Haven't used it myself yet though.
And Snapdrop makes it as easy as AirDrop, even across different platforms. Use it to ferry stuff between Apple stuff and Windows/Linux/Android all the time.
Funny enough though, I’ve gotten the most usage out of Snapdrop for getting files on/off my Android devices, because it doesn’t require a cable or some shifty app off the Play store, and doesn’t require cables or the crapfest that is the MTP protocol.
While not exactly what you're looking for, Snapdrop comes pretty close. Selfhosting it doesn't offer any real advantages over the public version, but it is possible.
Maybe try snapdrop.net, open the website in oculus browser and on your iPhone, then you should be able to select your video on your quest and send it (at least it works on Android)
Barrier Barrier is software that mimics the functionality of a KVM switch, which historically would allow you to use a single keyboard and mouse to control multiple computers by physically turning a dial on the box to switch the machine you're controlling at any given moment. Barrier does this in software, allowing you to tell it which machine to control by moving your mouse to the edge of the screen, or by using a keypress to switch focus to a different system.
LuLu LuLu is the free, open-source firewall that aims to block unknown outgoing connections, protecting your privacy and your Mac!
Snapdrop Use your web browser to share files across different devices in your local network, iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, PC. No setup, no sign-up.
The Pixel 6 is the much better phone, assuming you'd be paying the same price for both. You just need to consider whether you need iMessage or Facetime. For everything else, there are alternatives on Android. The camera, smart features, and screen would be much better than the 11. Jumping from an 11 Pro myself, it felt like a huge upgrade.
Airdrop - https://snapdrop.net/
Photos - Google Photos
As alternative for AirDrop for all platforms (Windows, Android, Linux,..) you can use https://snapdrop.net/
It is not for sharing text/clipboard as OP requested, but for images/files it works fine (on LAN)
Easiest way to get files from an iPhone/iPad to a non-Apple device is through cross platform Airdrop clones like Snapdrop. Doesn’t require anything to be installed (just use your browser) and Windows and Android support installing it as a PWA.
Other options aren’t hard. You can email yourself photos, use https://snapdrop.net/ (basically AirDrop that works with Androids and PCs too), use Google Photos, or set your iPhone to keep originals and then plug it into a PC. Or if you have a Mac, you can just AirDrop or use iCloud Photos.
Snapdrop: You don't need to install anything. This works just like airdrop, via p2p and nothing in the middle, after the handshake. Works on the local network at home like a charm.
When I need to transfer a file quickly, I run Python's built-in web server.
python -m http.server
Then connect with a browser to port 8000, i.e., http://10.1.2.3:8000 to start the download. This should work on virtually every Linux distro.
To get files off machines where Python is not available (iPads, phones) I resort to using https://snapdrop.net
I don’t know if the web browser on the phone is compliant or not, but you can try…
It’s like Apple’s Airdrop but it’s universal. As long as the two devices are on the same network, you can transfer files between them.
I found this from a while back, presumably I must've followed the instructions there, but there doesn't seem to be an add to homescreen option available anymore. Unless I'm really mis-remembering it!
Do you know of any browser that can create a homescreen icon and doesn't open Safari? The reason is with Safari and iCloud Private Relay, it stops https://snapdrop.net from working as they're not recognised as being on the same network.
3) In my opinion nearby share isn't nearly as good as AirDrop. AirDrop works on all Apple Devices, iPads, iPhones and Macs. Nearby share is only between Android phones and tablets, and chromebooks. With AirDrop, the two devices do not have to open up an AirDrop page. For example, if you send a photo from your iPad to your MacBook, you don't have to open the AirDrop screen in Finder. It just pops up on the iPad and you tap on it to send the photo. But on Nearby Share, this is not the case. Both devices have to open up the Nearby Share page. Also, AirDrop allows to share with everyone. Nearby Share only allows to share with all contacts.
Samsung actually made a really good AirDrop alternative called Quick Share, which works among Samsung phones, laptops and tablets. It works quite the same way as AirDrop.
If you use an Android among a MacBook or iPad, I would recommend using Snapdrop.net or Telegram's Saved Messages feature.
I know it's 5 months down the line but this is a reference for future searches ^((you're welcome)). YES you can transfer files using Windows' Your Phone. This can only be done from the PC side, though.
- Open screen mirroring in the Windows Your Phone app
- Go to My Files on your Samsung Device
- Long press the file you want to send
- Long press again until thumbnail(s) appear and drag them out of the screen mirroring window and into the folder you want to transfer them to.
To transfer without touching the PC, I use Snapdrop.net. You can "install" it as a Progressive Web App (PWA) and set it to run on windows startup. Then from any browser on your home network, go to the same website and upload. If you're anything like me, you'll be suspicious about the privacy with it being a website, however it only acts as a signalling server, then the file is sent over P2P.
Snapdrop.net aus dem Kommentar klingt vielversprechend.
Ansonsten kann ich Syncthing empfehlen. Muss allerdings einmal eingerichtet werden ist dann aber schnell und unkompliziert. Bin mir aber nicht sicher ob es dafür Apps für iOS und WearOS gibt.
if its over LAN, you could try https://snapdrop.net/ friend recommended it to me recently, uses LAN direct connection
works even offline, while connected to router (although page ofcourse needs to be loaded)
There's https://snapdrop.net, which lets you send things through the website and works locally, but that's not seamless (and I've had problems with making work on my iPad).
Otherwise, you're pretty much stuck with saving things to a file/app, and sending that across.
Does this mean it's not starting, opens the window but not loading?
Meanwhile I've created an Edge shortcut to see what will happen.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge_proxy.exe" --profile-directory=Default --app-id=ikpmlgdcejalmjnfbahhijemkcgljabf --app-url=https://snapdrop.net/ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge_proxy.exe" --profile-directory="Profile 1" --app-id=ikpmlgdcejalmjnfbahhijemkcgljabf --app-url=https://snapdrop.net/
The first line is your code, second line is mine. Difference is I'm using a profile, you are using standard configuration, i.e. no respectively the Default profile.
Btw, the above format is ideal for code — it's called Code Block. Inline Code format, like you've used, is good for very short code snippets within a text.
It worked yesterday and now it doesn't work anymore. Of course I reloaded the script, I tried removing the quote marks around "C:\ etc.", adding them back...
The app won't load :(
!n::
Run, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge_proxy.exe" --profile-directory=Default --app-id=ikpmlgdcejalmjnfbahhijemkcgljabf --app-url=https://snapdrop.net/
return
​
Is there anything wrong in my script? The other scrips work perfectly.
I had a recent 1GB file I needed from my laptop to my phone and wifi wasn’t cutting it. I found https://snapdrop.net and it worked like a charm! Make sure your devices are on the same wifi connection It’s faster than having to upload to a website and having to download it on another device
There is clearly something wrong if both devices are discoverable and the computer can find the phone. Some troubleshooting is in order. Try updating your drivers on Windows and check if you didn't disable something you should not have on both devices. Then remove both from each other's records, reboot and try again.
You do have alternatives that do not require cables and are considerably faster though.
You can try WiFi Transfer from the Microsoft Store. Samsung is also slowly rolling out Quick Share for Windows.
And if you are one of those "I don't touch the Microsoft Store" , there is always https://snapdrop.net/.

I believe SnapDrop does what you’re looking for. I believe the only requirement is the same network.
Works in the browser in both devices, but I think there is a Windows app? Not sure.
If it's in my photos it is also in iCloud synced. Also I just send links via messenger if it's a web pic. aaand if I'm on Mac I use airdrop.
​
In all other cases and beyond there is https://snapdrop.net so yeah.
What's the benefit of using this over the ones I've mentioned?
asked that a few days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/kc92ah/request_enable_bluetooth_file_transfer_for_ios/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
is the best alternative for now ...
https://snapdrop.net/ Funktioniert wie AirDrop von Apple, du machst die Seite auf den Geräten auf und kannst Sachen hin und her schicken über dein lokales Netzwerk. Das ganze ist open source, trotzdem gilt immer vom schlechten in Menschen ausgehen und vertrauliche Sachen nur verschlüsselt senden.
Why are you trying to use ftp to transfer files? Why not just connect the phone via USB.
Or even better use this https://snapdrop.net/ just open the website on both devices and you can transfer anything (they just need to be on the same network).
I recommend https://snapdrop.net/
You can transfer files between devices on the same network. They establish a direct connection between each other, so nothing actually goes to an external server. There is also an end to end encryption.
It uses the WebRTC technology, if you're interested to read more.

I've been using Snapdrop (https://snapdrop.net) for this purpose lately. It's cross platform since it's a web application. The only drawback is that you need an internet connection to use it (or deploy your own instance locally, it's open source). It works like Air Drop. You open the web app on both devices, it detects other devices on the same network and transfers the data over the local network.

I feel like all of nearby share/airdrop equivalent are pretty much useless because they are not compatible with each other. Windows/Android/iOS can only send from/to their counterpart.
I use https://snapdrop.net/
If you're on the same wifi connection with someone you frequently use airdrop with, just use snapdrop.net instead. File transfer is very fast & easy and no logins or signups are necessary. Files transfer via wifi direct and do not use the internet. Works with PCs on the same network, too.
Bookmark the site or create a home screen shortcut to it, if possible.
I've been asking myself a similar question, how to send original files without them having to install anything. If you're on the same WiFi network you can try snapdrop.net, it just works over the web. You open that page in both devices and you should see the other device (you are given unique names). Then tap on it and just choose the files. If you are running a local VPN like Adguard it may block it so you should disable it.
If you aren't on the same WiFi and wanna do it directly, you can set up a hotspot on your phone, have them connect to it, and note the "router" address on the iOS device's WiFi settings (Pixels use 192.168.43.xxx for their hotspot). With Solid Explorer you can put all the files you want to send in a zip file, then put that zip in a folder you'll designate as the FTP directory.
Then you can set up an FTP server with Solid Explorer and they can go to ftp://[router address]:[port number] in Safari which should show a list of all the files available in the folder you selected as your ftp directory. Tap on the zip file and Safari will download. They can set up the download folder in iOS Settings -> Safari (iCloud is default so they might wanna change that).

It's pretty nice and simple actually
Go to snapdrop.net ... and you're done! You'll have to access the music from the Apple Files app, not the Music app, but it works just fine 😁
It's a fair bit slower, maybe twice as slow from what I can tell. You can use something like SnapDrop which lets you share from your iPhone's web browser to any computer. It works well and takes less effort.
Edit: There's even a PC app so you don't have to leave a browser open to the website. No iPhone app so just pin the site to your home screen.

Yeah, I couldn't be happier overall with the experience. I decided to buy an iPhone SE just to try it (I use an iPad and Mac for school so I guess the iPhone has better integration with those devices) but I am already returning it after a day lol. There are so many Samsung specific features that keep me from switching, something I could never imagine myself saying, and oh God is the headphone jack a deal-breaker for me. So glad my S10+ has it!
Btw, if someone is in a similar position concerning using both Android/Windows and iOS/macOS devices, there is this page called Snapdrop that works pretty much the same as AirDrop and is great for file transfer over WiFi!
Windows does technically have that feature (so-called 'Your Phone'), however unfortunately it isn't available on iOS. (Technically it is but it only allows for sending links and not photos)
Unfortunately there is no solution that does not involve installing third-party software. AirDrop simply is not supported on Windows.
I normally use KDE Connect but that is not available on iOS. Some suggestions I have are Snapdrop (open the site on both your computer and phone and you can send photos that way), or AirDroid (gives tight integration with your phone and computer, syncs notifications etc).
If you are at home and connected to your home wifi mostly, you could start FTP server from your phone from any supported app like Solid Explorer and access the filesystem from PC.
You can also Syncthing if you want to upload your photos automatically to your pc. It does not have to be on same wifi network necessarily.
Some like snapdrop.net/ toffeeshare.com/ but thanks to our firefox account you don't need to stay in the same network. And a options like "send link to "my device X" "which we have now but with files with option to direct transfer or using mozilla servers if the device that will recive the file isn't ready in that moment.
Check out snapdrop.net
Open source, encrypted, direct device-to-device file transfer over your local network.
Open the website on each device, click on the peer device, select a file of any size, and click send.
The transfer is TLS encrypted, and nothing is sent over the internet.
I've used the hell out of this over the last few days. Works on phones too.
Try Snapdrop. (The site seems down at the moment, but you can still use the version hosted on Github at https://onedoes.github.io/snapdrop/)
ME TOO! wasn't this supposed to be a huge deal? I want this so bad, currently am using https://snapdrop.net/ (saved as a shortcut on my homescreen) but damn did google drop the ball here smh
~90% of the world doesn't work on Macs.
iCloud sync can be reproduced with any number of services.
Airdrop can also be reproduced any number of ways. There's even a web-based solution that works on just about anything.
Watch and Phone proximity unlock can be added to non-Macs as well.
Example: Windows has a build-in feature called "Dynamic Lock" that auto-locks PCs down when you're away. Windows Hello will do a FaceID-type unlock.
There's a ton of apps, like Unwelt, that can enhance that featureset.
iMessage is very meh IMHO and isn't popular outside of the US but people in the US seem to praise it.
You might try snapdrop - don't even need a JB for this. Just open https://snapdrop.net in a browser on both devices (must be in the same network) and then the iOS -Version shouldn't matter, not even if it's an android-device or a computer running windows.
Does the job well for me in situations where AirDrop refuses to work for known or unclear reasons.
