I once had a specific device that wouldn’t airdrop to anything. Beyond that one device, it has always, just worked. Instantly. First try.

I wish everything were as simple to use.

Documents is the other app I use for sending files to and from iOS (primarily iPad, from Linux laptops). But I’ve run into a lot more bugs with that, and the transfer setup process requires generating and entering codes. It’s a pretty good UX, but it always reminds you how effortless airdrop is.

I love the idea of a cross platform, open source, airdrop. It’s a lofty, but worthwhile goal.
