Eh, yes and no. It may not have 1-for-1 feature parity, but it’s still an alternative insofar as two people can transfer files to each other. Yes, LocalSend requires them to be on the same network while AirDrop does not. I still think it’s beneficial for LocalSend to show up in search results for “airdrop alternatives” b/c it might be good enough for most people’s use cases and it is perhaps the most feature complete, easiest to use, free & open source option out there.
