Foss app to share files through hotspot with no internet connection

Open Source@lemmy.ml – 54 points – 1 years ago

GitHub - abhi16180/photon: Photon is a cross-platform file-transfer application built using flutter. It uses http to transfer files between devices. You can transfer files between devices that run Photon.

i've found this cute little app called photon that does exactly what I need. Unlike snapdrop, it doesn't need to connect to a server. Unlike warpinator, it works.

but I hate the GUI. It's too cute for me :/

What other apps are there to share files through a hotspot.

some sharing apps require the 2 phones to be connected to the same WiFi, we're travelling and a hotspot is our only option.

I just learned about this! WiFi sharing should be more universal!

it becomes a necessity when you leave cities for the coast, mountains or the country
