I wanted something like this for weddings or group camping type events for sharing photos to multiple others at once.
Isnt that what QuickShare and Airdrop solves?
And LocalSend
QuickShare, AirDrop and LocalSend all use WiFi, which can be a problem when using a VPN (it is for me).
Sounds like the problem is your vpn client if you cant chose what traffic goes into it
You can blame whatever or whoever you want, the problem remains.
I just changed the routing for local networks to ignore the VPN
Turn it off temporarily?
Right but turning the VPN off invalidates the purpose of using a VPN. And even if it didn't, it's not convenient to disable on both devices and then turn it back on. The whole purpose of this software is convenience.
Airdrop is two people at a time. Say we had a group of 8 people I don’t want to do 7 air drop exchanges to get all the photos.
