Pairdrop Web Extension (Addon) - BETA

Share files between devices in your local network.

##TODO

Description

By default, this addon just displays a <b>popup</b> with the <a href="https://pairdrop.net/" target="_blank">Pairdrop</a> website so you can start recieving files and texts easily. In the popup the URL of the current tab is posted to the Message Dialog (right click). You can change the mode in the addons settings either to 'Popup in new window' or 'Open Tab instead' or 'Open in Sidebar'.

<b>Background mode</b> <br> <i>can be enabled in the settings</i> <br> This runs <a href="https://pairdrop.net/" target="_blank">Pairdrop</a> in the background so you can receive files/texts anytime and get notifications.

<b>Server</b> <br> The URL can be specified in the settings, protocol required (http/https)

ATTENTION: make sure that <a href="https://pairdrop.net/" target="_blank">Pairdrop</a> is only running once. (The background service will stop running if <a href="https://pairdrop.net/" target="_blank">Pairdrop</a> is opened in any tab, just make sure not to open <a href="https://pairdrop.net/" target="_blank">Pairdrop</a> in several tabs)

Kown issue

Firefox: sending files from the popup does not work (FilePicker causes the Popup to close), this is a <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1292701" target="_blank">known bug</a>. Therefore I recommend changing the Mode in the addons settings either to 'Popup in new window' or 'Open Tab instead' or 'Open in Sidebar'. </br> Chrome: <a href="https://github.com/ueen/SnapdropFirefoxAddon/issues/23" target="_blank">Unrecognized manifest key 'browser_specific_settings'</a>
