AirDrop lets you transfer files between devices over WiFi (and even via USB). It’s a nice feature but it’s only limited to Apple’s iThings.

Thankfully KDEConnect exists which is not only cross-platform, but it comes with other features like sharing the clipboard, controlling a remote device, and getting notifications.

Wow, having written that out, I forgot that Apple can do these things too through Handoff. Still, Handoff isn’t cross-platform.
