Why localsend and other sharing apps are so much slower than shareit?

I hate shareit. It's full of ads and nonsense, but it's much faster than any other alternative?

Have you tried: Wormhole or KDE connect

I use KDE connect for connecting my PC, but I'm talking about sharing big files with friends using android.

KDE connect can connect to another android device that is also running it and on the same network.

If we're talking about sharing stuff between Android devices, then what about Quick Share?

Fair enough, I hadn't considered that as OP hadn't stated whether they were using Play Services. But point taken.

Not sure if its the case for you, but I also experienced local send being slow. I turned off encryption and it was 10x faster. Not sure if that helps.
