7 0 ReplyMan. I had no idea LocalSend existed. I've been looking for something like this for ages. I'd been using Snapdrop on and off, but it was pretty unreliable.

4 0 ReplyThis has been a godsend since it came out
3 0 ReplyIs it just on my end or it takes about half a minute for the Windows device to detect the Android device, but not the other way around?
3 0 ReplyI hope it gets better I tried it with my phone sitting right next to my PC, and it was so slow.. settled on about 35k/s
