I've had this need recently and noticed that tailscale is extremely useful between phone to mac transfers as well. I mean you can also technically use airdrop too, but that sometimes is unreliable for me.

File transfers do not work. Even after allowing microphone access on both ends.

What is the microphone access for?

Do you need to say "My voice is my passport." or something?

As I understand it, it's sent p2p between the two devices

So does this host the files? For free? How long before ads start / you have to register / subscription model, etc?

> None of your files are ever sent to any server. Files are sent only between peers. Snapdrop doesn't even use a database. If you are curious have a look at the Server. Even if Snapdrop was able to view the files being transfered, WebRTC encrypts the files on transit, so the server would be unable to read them.

Terrible service. I used to use it back in the days until it starting going down all of the time. Switched to localsend and never looked back.
