Local Connection File Transfer

Hello,

Currently, sending files requires uploading and then downloading from Google Drive.

 

However, a local connection seems far more efficient.

For example, if both devices are connected to the same network then it will be a simple local connection transfer. It will be faster since it won't require upload and it will also download using the wireless speed.

And if it detects that the devices aren't using the same connection then it can be either a pop-up triggers to notify that it will require remote transfer, or it can happen automatically.

 

Local connection can be used in various ways, and for file transferring I feel it is efficient.

Will appreciate your thoughts!

Thanks! (^ ^)

Unfortunately this wouldn't work for sending files to Chrome, but it could work for files sent to Android :)

Edit: I've actually made it work both ways! Check here: https://www.reddit.com/r/JoinApp/

Interesting!
What about sending the files to the Windows App?

Awesome! This would mean I can transfer big files although my Google Drive is almost full

maybe a windows client like in the app KDEconnect would be a solution

Thanks you welcome

I don't think that would be possible either unfortunately.

Sending files to an android connected to the same wifi should be a breeze

@ Hiya..using Join now...its brilliant, the only thing I miss is the ability to remotely browse my android phone's file system with the possibility of downloading or uploading files. Please can this be implemented? So there will be a browse device option that will launch WinSCP (installed in Win 10 pc) and allow you to remotely browse android file system with the ability to download/upload files. If this feature can be put in place, Join will be a total package. Thank you.

This is available in the new beta! I'm happy to say that it works both for Android > Chrome and Chrome < Android! :)
