In Sharedrop: Easy P2P file transfer powered by WebRTC – inspired by Apple AirDrop
I have used many of these to send files from windows to linux or mac to windows. My point isn't that one of the solutions above is perfect, but that the problem has been tackled in a user friendly way with existing web technologies in a variety of ways. These are very small, often one man projects, compared to something like airdrop for example, and they do 80% or more of what you need them to. I spent less than a minute searching and found another WebRTC based project. - Site: https://perguth.de/peertransfer/ - Source: https://github.com/perguth/peertransfer Imagine what could be built with an actual investment? I don't think the money exists for this type of tech, otherwise we would've seen someone do it in the last 20 years.
