Google’s Pixel 10 works with AirDrop, and other phones should follow later.

      Localsend doesn’t support Airdrop.

        Okay, but it is a good alternative to it that works cross platform without workarounds.

        So yes it doesn’t solve that specific problem but it is a good alternative to AirDrop.

        Hopefully this workaround is allowed to continue, but we’ll see.

          Yeah, which is what I said. It’s great, but an alternative solution is an alternative solution. If someone is sharing a file to a group with Airdrop, you are not receiving it with localsend.
