Meet LocalSend - A Cross-Platform, Open Source Alternative to AirDrop and Quick Share! Techno Tim 2024-03-09 | LocalSend is a free and open source application that securely transfers files between devices without the internet. It's cross-platform meaning that it's available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS (iPhone, iPad), and Android devices. This is a great alternative to AirDrop or Quick Share and can send and receive files to other devices without a 3rd party service like Google Drive.
