just be aware that even though it's open source, the code is not verifiable in web-app form
Why not just use the built-in bluetooth file sharing?
The files are really big .
BT4.0 can send files at 200mbps, is that not fast enough?
Sharik is very nice on smartphone: https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.marchello.sharik/ No need to install anything on the receiver side; handles Wifi hotshot itself.
Something like local send, maybe?

No vpn ? Why does it use data ?
Sorry, I don't ubderstand your question. As far as I know, sharedrop works in the local network, doesn't it?
I think they're asking about the text on the website that says "not compatible with VPNs" which I think is a reference to an Android system limitation where you simply must turn off an existing VPN connection to use the app merely because it interferes with the app becoming its own localhost VPN to get around android networking limitations.
