It normally gets really tricky when iPhones (iOS) and Androids users get together and want to instantly exchange data, photos, and other content over WiFi. Using on-board technologies to accomplish this task is not that simple because you need specific apps and, if needed, email or WhatsApp. It's lot simpler with the Snapdrop.
Thanks to AirDrop file or data exchange via WiFi is simple for Apple iOS users and requires no special programs or registration. The iPhone, iPad, and Mac computers all have AirDrop, which is a really smart feature. But what happens if a PC (Windows) or Android user decides to join the group? Bluetooth is also useless in this situation, and fast wireless data transfer is not possible. The majority of people then use cloud services, WhatsApp, or email each other. However, these alternatives need registration and contact exchange contacts... it's all far too complicated.
It's quicker with "Snapdrop" How does Snapdrop work? All you need to do is simply open any online browser on your iPhone, iPad, Android smartphone, Mac, or PC and type snapdrop.net to exchange data, photos, and other content with Snapdrop.
Each user on Snapdrop now has a unique nickname that is visible to all other users on the network. Distributing the appropriate data now only requires dragging and dropping or tapping the finger, which functions similarly to a mouse click. The other party receives the data instantly and has the option to save it. Obviously, for anything to work, people must be logged into the same network, not typically on the worldwide Internet. So in order to transfer data in the future all that is actually necessary to know is Snapdrop's name and, consequently, its address.
Disadvantages: this solution clearly isn't an option if you're on the go and there isn't WiFi available. Nevertheless, in an emergency, you may typically locate a hotspot and continue to exchange data with each other. AirDrop has the same local usage restrictions as other services. Of course, use is difficult if Snapdrop malfunctions and the website is down for a while. It is similar to cloud services in that you rely on third-party servers.
By the way, Snapdrop also allows you to send short messages. You can accomplish this by right-clicking on the recipient's icon or right-click on them on the desktop. You can't really chat with it, but you can announce a data transfer. Moreover, you have direct access to the camera, from which you can shoot images or videos that you can share using Snapdrop.
