WarpShare is an Android app that enables file transfer using AirDrop-like functionality from your Android device to

Mac. This project is a fork of [vinint/MoKee-WarpShare](https://github.com/vinint/MoKee-WarpShare), with

modifications by [moseoridev](https://github.com/moseoridev) to make it compatible with the latest version of Android.



## Features 🌟



- Utilizes the AWDL protocol, the same technology found in AirDrop, for faster file transfers between Mac and

  non-Apple devices.

- Easily transfer files by setting the AirDrop visibility to "Everyone" on your Mac.

- Sends files from Android devices to Mac with a maximum size of approximately 4.2 GB.

- Open-source and released under the Apache 2.0 License.



## Limitations ⚠️



- File transfer is limited to Android-to-Mac only.

- The maximum file size is ~4.2 GB due to limitations in the CPIO format.

- Code quality might be suboptimal due to the [developer](https://github.com/moseoridev)'s limited experience in Java or

  Android development.

- There are reports of it not working on several models of Android phones, but it's hard to troubleshoot the error unless I have one of those phones.

- You may receive a warning from Google Play Protect because the developer is not verified. Rest assured, the app is

  safe to use.



## Usage 📚



1. Install the WarpShare app on your Android device.

2. Set AirDrop visibility to "Everyone" on your Mac.

3. Launch the WarpShare app on your Android device, choose the files to transfer, and initiate the process.

4. Confirm the transfer on your Apple device and watch the magic happen!
