    Agreed, I’m not sure of why LocalSend is so well-received when I’ve literally been unable to get devices to even see each other, ever, even when they’ve been on the same network; I’ve tried across multiple networks (all devices on the same network each time). Literally ToffeeShare is way easier. PlainApp I’ve had some success with as well. Bluetooth works but not all devices take it, nor Quick Share.

      Yes true, when the wifi network uses client isolation you’re fucked. As a workaround you can put the phone in hotspot mode and join that network from the laptop. I always need to do this at work because they are overdoing it on security.
