Is there an alternative of airdrop on android?

My understanding of airdrop (could be wrong) is that it is able to share files even without internet connection. (does not connect to wifi or cellular network)

Is there an open source alternative of airdrop on android that can share files / clipboard without internet connection? just transfer directly from one device to another?

thanks a lot

    thank you but it requires 2 devices to be connected in the same network, is there an alternative that works without internet connection like airdrop?

      LocalSend actually works without internet - it just needs both devices on the same local network (one phone can create a hotspot for the other to join if you’re completely offline).

        yeah the hotspot bit requires me to turn on my cellular network which is not most desirable. but thanks for providing this though!
