Also another thing I wanted to point out. When using https://sharedrop.io (which is another website with a GitHub very similar to PairDrop) between an iOS & Android device, there is no 200MB limitation. With PairDrop is there a way to remove this like with ShareDrop? I tested it on this website and it worked fine with a file over 200MB. Both use WebRTC right? So would this be possible?

Also, do not just limit it by checking the OS as the memory limit is probably different on different devices (iPhone 8 has 2 GB of RAM - iPhone 15 has 8 GB of RAM). Is it possible to check the available memory dynamically?

Comment by @jayb-g:

There should definitely not be such a low file size limit or no limit at all especially on local network. Or high enough limit eg 5gb if, as pointed out by @schlagmichdoch websockets/webRTC is used and transfer can be chunked out. Auto pause-resume due to disconnection during a session would be a plus.
