I just discovered it today and I’m considering setting it up to use instead of LocalSend. Have any of you used TailDrop before? I don’t use TailScale so I’m not really sure I want to set it up just for sending files from my phone to my PC but the share menu options does seem convenient and it would be cool to be able to send any photos etc to my pc when I’m not home and have them their when I arrive sorta like I used pushbullet in the past.

Use instead! Better uptime, with the added bonus of not needing to be on the same network.
Ohhh, I like this alt.
I use KDE Connect. Works remotely if you self host a VPN, or isolated over a hotspot/internet sharing.
Nowhere near as convenient as Wi-Fi direct or Airdrop though, but Linux and Windows machines don’t have either
personally I run tailscale almost constantly anyway so I paired kde connect over tailscale and that works amazingly
LocalSend is already so damn good that I don’t know why I would ever use anything else.
I just use nearby share.
Yeah. It’s pretty great I haven’t tried it on windows but from Linux, iPhone, Android and Mac it is pretty great.

Have yet to try Taildrop but have a haiku:
With Tailscale Network. Decrease all your latency. Secure Peer to Peer.
