This looks quite useful for cross platform transfers on the same network. I’ve been using AirDroid [1] for quick cross platform transfers on the same network and Firefox Send for transfers over the Internet.
When I tried this on iOS (different browsers, though they’re all using the same engine underneath), it was stuck on the loading screen. Turning off content blockers didn’t have any effect.
Edit: Figured out that this doesn’t work on iDevices (at least older iOS versions). There’s an alternative called SnapDrop [2], whose FAQ has this question and answer:
> SnapDrop a fork of ShareDrop?
> No. ShareDrop is built with Ember. Snapdrop is built with vanilla ES6. I wanted to play around with Progressive Web Apps and then I got the idea of a local file sharing app. By doing research on this idea I found and analysed ShareDrop. I liked it and thought about how to improve it. ShareDrop uses WebRTC only and isn't compatible with Safari browsers. Snapdrop uses a Websocket fallback and some hacks to make Snapdrop work due to the download restrictions on iDevices.

SnapDrop looks like a better alternative to me.
