NearDrop Plus is a partial implementation of Google's Nearby Share for macOS

Protocol documentation is available separately.

The app lives in your menu bar and saves files to your downloads folder. It's that simple, really.

Since author does not want these changes, I will keep them in this repo.

• Implemented settings page.
• You can change computer name
• You can change notification type for incoming file requests. Instead of MacOS notification you can switch to Alert dialog style
• Launch at Login
• Files can be accepted and downloaded into Downloads folder automatically
• Safe files can be opened automatically. Only Images and Plain Text files can be opened
• Text and URL can be received. Both will be opened in separate window where user can copy, open in browser or save text as a file

• Receive only. For now. I haven't yet figured out how to make Android turn on the MDNS service and/or show the "a device nearby is sharing" notification.
• Wi-Fi LAN only. Your Android device and your Mac need to be on the same network for this app to work. Google's implementation supports multiple mediums, including Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth, some kind of 5G peer-to-peer connection, and even a WebRTC-based protocol that goes over the internet through Google servers. Wi-Fi direct isn't supported on macOS (Apple has their own, incompatible, AWDL thing, used in AirDrop). Bluetooth needs further reverse engineering.
• Visible to everyone on your network at all times while the app is running. Limited visibility (contacts etc) requires talking to Google servers, and becoming temporarily visible requires listening for whatever triggers the "device nearby is sharing" notification.

Download .zip file from release page. Extract it and copy NerDropPlus.app to Applications folder.
