When AirDrop is not an option, opening one web page on two devices is still the quickest way to move a file between a phone and a laptop on the same network.
Snapdrop is a progressive web app that transfers files and short messages directly between devices on the same network using WebRTC, with a WebSocket fallback. Open the page on both devices, tap the other one and pick a file; there is no install and no account. The code is GPL-3.0 and the service is free, funded by donations and ads. This is the original developer, Robin Linus, relaunching on snapdrop.me after the snapdrop.net domain was sold to LimeWire. Hacker News commenters reported intrusive ads on mobile and some failed transfers, and several prefer LocalSend or PairDrop.
