   A Complete waste of time from a 4 decade mac pro user

   Takes forever to send even small video files with high speed internet. Horrible documentation for transferring instructions. No option in the app menu to choose a destination folder. There's no way to compress all of your videos on an android to send to the Mac, even though that is suggested in their "features". And not 1 single video could I find in 2 hours of google searches that answered these questions. For a company touting such "ease of use", as a 40 year mac user, this was another waste of time app. If the company would like to contact me and answer these questions, if it is indeed an "easy, reliable app", I will gladly help them make a video that actually walks people through the problems I have encountered.

   Excellent way to share a folder with multiple files to another computer

   SnapDrop does an excellent job in sharing multiple files to another computer. Just zip/compress a folder with multiple files and select that zipped folder to send to the other computer or mobile device.

• Ask HN: Those who use an Android and macOS, how do you manage sync?

  Https://snapdrop.net/ is a great solution that unlike KDE doesn't require installation. Along with https://webwormhole.io/ they are my go to for transferring assets between systems. Both use WebRTC. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• WebRTC API

  Snapdrop.net is one of many examples of the uses for this API, using it with WebSocket API allows endpoints on the same local network to distribute files and send data between them. We can find the source code for the project here. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

  Here is a list of open source options. This isn't the first time I have shared this on here either. Perhaps this is another sign that web search is failing us.

• Spotify is shutting down in my country. Alternatives?

  As for moving your playlists, I use this app. I bought a perpetual licence for it years ago and it's so handy. I used it to move all my stuff from Spotify but I keep it installed on my phone for whenever someone sends me a Spotify playlist, I can just copy it to YouTube Music in seconds. Source: 7 months ago

• Show HN: Spotitube – synchronize Spotify collections from external providers

• Curious to know who uses YouTube Music over Spotify, and why?

  There are a bunch of services that will move your music library for you. I use Free Your Music but there might be newer/better options since I bought it. Source: about 1 year ago

• How do I revert to the old home screen?

  There are a ton of transfer services out there, SongShift is one, FreeYourMusic is another, they aren’t perfect but will get you 90% of the way there. Source: about 1 year ago
