      still possible in android, you can permanently activate nearby share.

      i know it’s not the same. we need a universal standard for this shit already. sharing files between devices is a nightmare.

        We need a WiFi standard that isn’t fucking bullshit (has cryptographic identity), and that can be expanded to devices too.

          Using the local network for the connection is a garbage plan because Wi-Fi coverage and availability is not consistent enough to become mainstream. I am aware of two practical solutions for this: instant hotspot (assuming the sharing app can temporarily reconfigure the wifi settings, and wifi encryption keys can be transferred with a QR code) or OnionShare (uses TOR to make a sharable link using any firewall/NAT configuration, share the link with a QR code).

            You don’t need to use TCPIP with WiFi. It can be ad-hoc and some other protocol.

                By “WiFi” I mean the wireless protocol, which is confusing because that includes Bluetooth.

          that requires every participant to reconfigure their Wi-Fi settings to connect to a participant’s hotspot. Not simple enough to substitute Air-drop unless there’s an app to do this automatically.
