      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).
