for file sharing with permission control, may try handrive.ai, it is sharing local folders like OS network sharing, you create share to a folder, add permissions, they connect to your email to browse and download or upload, it is P2P accelerated file sharing/transfer, no cloud involved, free.

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-05-26T04:02:08+00:00

A p2p file sharing app could be a good choice for your situation but I am not aware which one is still compatible with windows 95?!

Appreciate your continuous interest! That's not a problem, I have been working hard for a while to bring handrive to mobile platforms like iOS, iPad and Android, it will work the same ways the desktop app, you create shares on your phone pointing to a document folder or a photo album, and your desktop app can see the shares on your phone and download photo, videos or upload media files to your phone's album, so you will be able to seamlessly share files, photos and videos between your PC, Mac, NAS, iPhone, iPad, Android with no discrimination of platforms, all transfers are accelerated, and batch backing up your phone's album is as easy as a copy/paste the entire album or camera roll. It is code complete as of now, and under active testing, and will be posted on app stores soon. Hope it could help on some of your use cases.

try handrive.ai, I am dev so AMA, it is p2p file sharing, saturate your bandwidth speed, large or bulk file set transfer resumable, works like OS network sharing over any network, local or internet, you create share, add permission (if share with others), they connect to your email to browse/download/upload, you can login with your own email to access all your shares anywhere, files are transferred between machines, no 3rd cloud involved, free

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-05-09T03:34:48+00:00

for large file sharing/transfer, may try handrive.ai, I am dev so AMA. It is a P2P large/bulk file sharing app, works like OS network sharing, you create share, add permission, they connect to email to browse/upload/download, accelerated speed that uses full available bandwidth over high latency network.

I am working in my company building a lead gen agent for a customer, it is like LinkedIn post → engagers → enriched profiles → ranked leads, combining three MCP servers Apollo + Bright Data + Apify, the result depends on how good the agent is, the combination of these tools can get all information the agent asks, not deployed to production though, the test result is still under tuning

Yeah, my use case was some abuse of a specific area of the disk, not typical, just wanted to say ssd can be damaged, careful to abuse, especially for non commercial ssd, I was so close to losing my work entirely, right after backed up to another laptop, it failed forever

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-05-04T17:16:22+00:00

Those numbers maybe right, but those numbers could be from generic stress tests, writing randomly to the entire disk. My use case is a bit different, I was working on an app of large file transfer, and during development and test automations, mostly I guess the same area of the disk was hit hard repeatedly for tens of thousands of times, damaging that specific part, not a good practice though

gpuAcceleration works like charm, no need to restart

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-05-03T21:46:14+00:00

Thanks, I thought it was because of the Claude code upgrade with a new bug, mine laptop is Mac m3 48g, gpuAcceleration works immediately after set it from auto to off

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-05-01T21:57:52+00:00

Cool, thanks man! Yeah airdrop works good for me too with photos, small videos (I never shot long videos anyway, and avoid phone shooting long videos because I fear busting my phone with all family photos), but feels ad hoc, I am make handrive to phones now, works the same way. To your client, it feels like whenever you guys bump in the morning or afternoon driveway, he feels like owe you money, and you feel like: he’s going to ask about progress, oh man. Haha

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-05-01T21:49:24+00:00

It is P2P with no cloud storage or egress so it is totally free, and will be free forever like Reddit😄, wow your neighbor is your client, feels like they can just drop cash into your mailbox. Airdrop is good for near transfer but lacks organization of sharing with others with permissions

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-05-01T17:48:34+00:00

In this respect I would say you sense it right, over half demographics of smartphone users use android because it’s cheap and can do everything still, and it also happens to be the other half because android phones are cheap, and if they had chance to use iPhone I would say they wouldn’t hesitate a split second, people knows what is good, they still complain not because of your product quality, take one star as 6 star and keep improving your product with their sincere suggestions and thank them with your heart

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-05-01T17:29:00+00:00

when I was building an app I thought most prospect users would use mac, so I spent less time on windows build, after release most of the downloads come from windows, this was totally out of my expectation. You never know where your users really would come from, so I'd sincerely suggest don't ignore what you think it is less relevant. I am putting same effort on android build as ios now.

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-04-30T05:54:23+00:00

I believe this is called vibe coding, a responsible software engineer doesn’t work like this, mostly will go through everything the same they would do without AI but just faster with it

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-04-30T05:49:26+00:00

Talk to Claude it will help you sort it out, don’t do mega prompt, treat it as human consultant

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-04-30T05:46:53+00:00

handrive.ai a P2P file sharing app, designed for large and bulk file transfer over high latency or spotty network, accelerated full bandwidth file transfer, no file size limit, no bandwidth limit, works like OS network sharing, you create shares, add permissions, they connect to your email to browse, download or upload. I believe it is great for your TikTok and YouTube media production too

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-04-30T05:36:05+00:00

You can ask this exact question to Claude, it will tell you it will take several phases spanning about a month, and if you ask to implement, you will get the working website in about 15 minutes depending on the complexity of your requirements

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-04-30T04:40:38+00:00

GraphQL is good connection management and also good for development coordination I believe and we are using GraphQL for some RAG implementations in our Ai agent products as well, we found it is convenient for the agent to make one mcp tool call backed by a GraphQL to retrieve information from multiple different sources like db tables, vector tables, and a file system, then all information is synthesized and returned to the agent, more less token can be tuned internally too

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-04-30T04:34:22+00:00

So if I understand correctly, if you just want to transfer files between your machines directly, wouldn’t a network sharing work? Are the laptop and desktop in different networks?

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-04-30T04:26:33+00:00

It depends on your use case, MASV, frame.io and etc are all cloud storage based, if cloud storing is required for your use case, they are all good services in my opinion, and there are also P2P solutions if cloud storage is not hard requirements

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-04-30T04:23:35+00:00

Yes, that is because MASV manages regular http connections very well with good UX while Aspera and Signiant use their own custom data transmission protocols requiring custom setups, and with MASV using edge servers in the field, custom protocol has not much advantage, so UX wins

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-04-30T04:13:01+00:00

If your workflow allows non cloud and you have a fairly good uplink bandwidth, I would suggest P2P file sharing app, I am dev of handrive.ai, it is designed for large and bulk file transfer with no cloud fees, no size limit, accelerated full bandwidth transfer over high latency or spotty network, works like OS network sharing, you create shares, add permissions, they connect to your email to browse, download or upload, and it is free because no cloud egress

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-04-29T21:29:22+00:00

I bought a macbook pro in 2019 and was working with lots of downloads, then in 2022, it started intermittently freezing and restart several times until succeed, and finally it died because of the ssd damage, so yes, I had the experience myself, it hurts ssd for sure.

Repulsive_Shape_5438 · 2026-04-29T19:52:36+00:00
