[Bug] Files Fail to Transfer via Share - Mobile to Desktop #196

Closed skykingisepic closed 7 months ago

skykingisepic commented 8 months ago

Describe the bug After selecting one or multiple image files and selecting share then SnapDrop app, in SnapDrop a popup at bottom shows 'File(s) selected for sharing - Cancel' then tapping on the Icon for Paired Device to send does nothing.

Note: On Desktop, Auto Accept is checked for paired mobile device. If auto accept is off, desktop gets popup asking to accept and if selected then 'waiting...' shows below paired device Icon and still no file transfer.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Select Image File(s) in Messenger
  2. Select Share
  3. Select SnapDrop
  4. Tap on Paired Device Icon to Send

Expected behavior Files should transfer to selected paired device but nothing happens

Hm that's weird. I'll try to reproduce this later as I'm not using the app (not maintained by me - independently developed)

It's not clear whether this is a problem of PairDrop or the android app.

Does file sharing work from the browser work when you are not using the App?

If you use Google Chrome on your Pixel phone, could you please install PairDrop as a PWA and share files to the PWA instead of to the Snapdrop app? Does it work then?

Using SnapDrop app, tapping on paired Desktop, and selecting file(s) to send works through my local PairDrop or pairdrop.net Gallery allows selecting image(s) and has icon for direct snapdrop launch with files selected for send (not available in share list from gallery) PWA not showing in share list but shows on launcher as Vivaldi shortcut that defaults to pairdrop.net

Seems to be selecting images from SMS messages and sharing via SnapDrop that's causing the issue, normal file selection and send via SnapDrop or Vivaldi connected to pairdrop.net or my local instance works.

PWA not showing in share list but shows on launcher as Vivaldi shortcut that defaults to pairdrop.net

This is because Vivaldi has not implemented PWA support on Android. You could install it via Chrome to have it appear in the share list. (https://firt.dev/notes/pwa/)

If you are sure this is app related, create an issue here: https://github.com/fm-sys/snapdrop-android

I’ll close this here. Best to reopen it in the snapdrop-android repo
