Sharing vs Snapdrop & PairDrop for Android
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Sharing
Share files and apps using browser. you need the other device to be connected to the same network. Files sent from browser to the app can be found in Sharing/ folder in your internal storage. You will need to send this app to the other device in case you sent an app with split apk files. Make sure you use hotspot to get faster speeds transferring files.

Snapdrop & PairDrop for Android
Snapdrop & PairDrop for Android is an Android™ client for the free and open source local file sharing solutions https://snapdrop.net/ and https://pairdrop.net/. Do you also sometimes have the problem that you just need to quickly transfer a file from your phone to the PC? USB? - Old fashioned! Bluetooth? - Much too cumbersome and slow! E-mail? - Please not another email I write to myself! Snapdrop! Snapdrop (as well as the enhanced version "PairDrop") is a local file sharing solution which completely works in your browser. A bit like Apple's Airdrop, but not only for Apple devices. Windows, Linux, Android, IPhone, Mac - no problem at all!

Thanks to its radical simplicity, "Snapdrop & PairDrop for Android" makes the everyday life of thousands of users easier.
