    Been using this regularly for almost a year now, really handy to move files around between the range of OSs I use. Even found it useful to share long strings of text etc, a great solution imo.

    I was referring to this project local send.

    However it's not really applicable to this thread as it's more about sharing on the fly, getting people to download an app defeats the point.

    For my own devices at home and work though local send is awesome.

    Yeha I love signal, can't complain about it at all.

    You can send whole files in WhatsApp, no compression. I havent been able to figure out how to do it in Signal however if you set your media settings to 'High' I find the quality loss acceptable for non print usage the majority of the time.

    For more than a couple files, local send or portable SSD.

    I use localsend on devices that I send files regularly be them mine or my family's etc (on the same network) otherwise I use signal/whatsapp to friends normally.

    Don't know if I'd carry additional hardwear for this purpose, cool idea though.

    From a later thread.

    OK so I just got off a call with the DPC - the strategy has worked, it has been noticed and they are investigating.

    They have received a lot of complaints since I went public with mine yesterday which is starting to overwhelm their backlog.

    So I am now politely asking if people can pause on sending in further complaints until mid next week to give them a chance to try to resolve this issue.

    So hold off for now I guess.
