File storage and sharing apps

Snapdrop is a handy web-based replacement for Apple’s fiddly AirDrop file transfer tool. It is an easy way to transfer files. Instantly share images, video, PDF, and links across devices. Peer2Peer, Private, Secure and Open Source.

This is really great, and it actually works better than AirDrop. I'm using it as a Fluid app with an icon I made based on your logo, so it's found its place on my Dock. Here's the icon: https://infinit.io/_/JZH3ff5

@alexbagirov No. ShareDrop is built with ember. Snapdrop is built with Polymer. I wanted to play around with Progressive Web Apps and then I got the idea to clone Apple’s Airdrop. By doing research on this idea I found and analysed ShareDrop. Source: https://github.com/capira12/snap...

@aaran_mcguire @alexbagirov Hey, author of ShareDrop here :) I really like the overall design of Snapdrop, its usage of service workers and the idea of using websockets as WebRTC polyfill. At the very beginning ShareDrop used websockets as well, though only for presence and signaling. I decided to switch to Firebase, so that I don't have to pay for or, what's even worse, manage any servers. Thanks to that it's been working for almost 2 years (!) without any server maintenance. It sucks that there are no free TURN servers though.

Does it work on local network or the file is uploaded on a remote server?

@sirioz It uses a P2P connection when WebRTC is supported by the browser. (WebRTC needs a Signaling Server, but it is only used to establish a connection and is not involved in the file transfer). If WebRTC isn’t supported (Safari, IE) it uses a Web Sockets fallback for the file transfer. The server connects the clients with a stream. Source: https://github.com/capira12/snap...
