The Snapdrop Android client supports local file sharing through PairDrop, transferring files between devices on the same network.
About Snapdrop Android
Snapdrop Android is an open source Android client for PairDrop, a local file sharing service. It transfers files between devices on the same network. The project is hosted on GitHub and licensed under GPL-3.0. The app is available on Google Play and F-Droid.
The app is designed to fit into the Android share menu, so files can be sent to PairDrop directly from other apps. The homepage describes PairDrop as a browser-based service that also works with self-hosted Snapdrop instances, and it says PairDrop can be used in browsers on Windows, Linux, Android, iPhone, and Mac. Transfers are limited to devices on the same network, and the repository does not describe transfers beyond that network.
