From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Implement a wireless file transfer protocol that works with Apple's Airdrop and Android's Quick Share.
In other words Airdrop for Linux that works with both iOS and Android.
Must work with ios and android
1 is great.
for 2: syncthing is exactly this.
I think Syncthing specifically does not work with iOS.
That can be true, I don't know. Apart from that, the suggested app is exactly what Syncthing is.
Oh I know, I use Syncthing on 4 devices for various things, it's really convenient. But my understanding is that iOS is the one major platform that doesn't run it, and the OC specifically asked for iOS compatibility. It is my understanding that iOS isn't open enough to allow it.
