While it might not have been the first, Apple's AirDrop has proven itself as one of the most seamless ways of moving content between devices wirelessly and locally. Of course, if you own a Mac and an iPhone, and an iPad, there's little reason to go looking for an alternative but if you're reading this, there's a strong possibility that you don't live neatly ensconced within Apple's walled garden on all sides, and that's OK.
Perhaps you have a MacBook and an Android phone, or a Windows computer and an iPad; in these situations, AirDrop isn't really good for anything. Unless both the sending and receiving devices run MacOS, iPadOS and/or iOS, AirDrop won't work, but there are alternatives if you like to pick and choose your tech and the operating systems (OSs) they're built on.
