An "airdrop like" feature on Sailfish 3

I would like to have a function, or an application for Sailfish OS that allows drag and drop from desktop to device (PC, MAC, Linux) and works like "air drop" between MAC and iPhone. I think of something cross-platform that works via browser.


There are something similar, but I mean a drag and drop UI window or icon where put files.

  • The "Sailserver" app on the Jolla Store is a good starting point, with a web view and IP local.
  • Bluetooth file share works from Mac, but it's so slow.
  • Transfer file via FTP/SSL it's tricky, the ip is dynamic and should be changed every time in the FTP client
