LANDrop is a cross-platform tool that you can use to conveniently transfer photos, videos, and other types of files to other devices on the same local network.

• platform: Ubuntu18.04
• error

When executing the AppImage, I encountered the following error:

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: xcb.

Aborted (core dumped)

Thanks for your great work and looking forward to your suggestions!

LanDrop On Android11(xiaomi/10s/MIUI12.5)，Can't find recvive file in FileExplorer。 Send a word file(docx) to mobile phone，and receive success, but can't find it in my fileExporer。 Where is the file?

thank you.

Just installed LANDrop through AUR and getting the above error on launch.

I am on Manjaro Linux with Gnome DE (3.38).

Any pointers on how to fix this?

I saw this in the README:

Cross platform: when we say it, we mean it. iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, name yours.

I was looking to contribute to this since I have some ideas I would like to see in LANDrop, (great project btw), so I had a look in the repo but I don't see iOS and Android in there, but I do see them in the app stores.

Are there any plans to open source the iOS & Android apps?

Just a minor update to README to include packages required for building

Have also tested again Debian, Ubuntu and Raspbian, all of which seem to build

Couldn't fix the "Connection timed out" error. On the same web in school intranet (not secured network)... Only succeed once in file transfer when the iPadOS client also showed some error (didn't screenshot :-( )

I know this is called 'LANdrop' but what if your phones are not on the same LAN, but are close to each other. Could you add the ability to use bluetooth to do the filetransfer?

My use case is ... I'm at a b-day party or other group event, and everyone has been taking photos/videos. Would love to have an easy way to share (full-size) photos/videos which each other. Whatsapp/Messenger etc all reduce quality of the photos when they sent them.

Bonus if you could somehow create a p2p bucket --where everyone can dump their files into, and everyone sync's to each other, as long as one client has a copy of all the files. Almost like an instant torrent, but whose contents can change dynamically.

Just my crazy ideas....

As a user, I would like to be able to send files by using the standard iOS share sheet. For example, if I am in the photos app:

1. Select photo
2. Click the share icon
3. Select LANDrop app
4. A window would appear allowing me to select the destination device

The next time I do this, the last device selected would be default.

Please see example from Discord

Transferred files losing their extra attributes (like +x flag on executables). This is much more painful on Haiku, where the files can have tons of extra attributes. Any way to support to transfer them too?

I downloaded the latest AppImage (as of 06/12/2021) to ~/.local/bin, provided executable permission, and then added the desktop entry in ~/.local/share/applications.

When I try to open the application using the icon from launcher, nothing happens. I just get a notification saying "LANDrop is launched here". When I try to open it once again, I get an error message saying port 52637 is already in use.

Checked running process and killed both instances of AppRun.wrapped.

Tried starting the application using the AppImage directly. Same result.

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (Focal Fossa)

When sending an image from iPhone to Windows 10, the Windows application crashes if the filename contains invalid characters in Windows (such as “,”).

The current version of LANDrop does not support customizing the download receiving directory, especially in the Android version where the downloaded files are placed in the Android/data directory, which is very worrying whether Google will restrict the permissions of this folder in the future and make us impossible to take out our files .
