Any reason to use LocalSend over Syncthing?
My issue with Droid-ify is that at least half the time updates or initial installations hang indefinitely, and even the Cancel button doesn’t do anything. I’ve gone back to F-Droid as this has never happened to me on that app.
I agree on Syncthing’s UI, and it did take me some time to understand it and get it working right. But I could only get LocalSend to accept files on my Pixel from my PC when I had the app open. Even with quick save turned on, it wouldn’t accept the file without having the app open. But maybe that’s the point of LocalSend? More deliberate file sharing?
