    I have used localsend. How is snapdrop this different from <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;localsend&#x2F;localsend" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;localsend&#x2F;localsend?

      First, snapdrop shouldn&#x27;t be used at all, it was sold to LimeWire along with some other similar P2P sites (sharedrop, easyupload) so only <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pairdrop.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pairdrop.net&#x2F; can be trusted.

      The difference is that localsend has dedicated apps as well, but sometimes you just quickly need the web version and for me <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.localsend.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.localsend.org&#x2F; is often too slow to connect or devices can&#x27;t see each other, meanwhile <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pairdrop.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pairdrop.net&#x2F; always work.
