LocalSend is not exactly an alternative to AirDrop. In LocalSend, two devices must be connected to the same LAN to share files with each other. In AirDrop, no LAN connection is necessary. Files are transferred directly between devices, similar to Bluetooth file sharing between devices.
Same LAN is the same as same Wifi?
Would it work between two computers? Even if one of them doesn’t have Bluetooth?
PairDrop Is a very nice alternative to AirDrop and it works even on different network!
