Mozilla’s Send makes it easy to send a file from one person to another

AirDrop is great for this, if you're working in small groups. It's one of the few things that Apple makes that still "just works."

Unfortunately, it only works in small groups. If you're in a large office, or need to send something to someone outside the building, you're SOL.

Well, not all the time. Never works at my parents, for example. Works in my flat about 80% of the time (although iOS 11 + High Sierra seem to be improving that ratio slightly). Never worked at $JOB-2. Doesn't work if you want to send to a non-Apple device. etc. Maybe Apple will spin up something out of the DeskConnect ashes for these cases.

When it does work, mind, it is bloody magical.

I've never had an Airdrop problem that couldn't be solved by moving the devices closer together. But like so much in computing, YMMV.

I am currently enjoying* the irony that Airdrop works better between my phone (currently on the work guest wifi network) and the work laptop (wifi turned off, ethernet on work corporate network) than in my flat (where everything is on the same wifi + network).
