TL;DR: CCDrop is a peer-to-peer file transfer program, install instructions at the bottom of this post.
CCDrop (2)
CCDrop 2, the successor to CCDrop, aims to provide a much more pleasing experience. This is a side-project at most, so it's not flawless (and is not finished); regardless I thought I'd release it to help catch bugs and get some feedback, rather than leaving it to gather dust.
Powered by Titanium, and Plexus (another side-project), CCDrop allows you to pick the files you would like to send to another client (wirelessly; within range of course) relatively painlessly. The other client must accept the connection request, however.
More features are planned, but I'd love to hear your constructive thoughts! Let me know what you'd like to see.
Got a bug or a suggestion/request? I'd rather you post it on GitLab if you can, rather than on this forum post; makes it much easier to track. Be sure to avoid repeat issues if you can, best to search for an issue matching yours before posting.

What happens in this GIF?
- Shows the 'transfer' file on the first PC (sender), and shows missing file on the second PC (receiver)
- Starts CCDrop on both clients
- Starts file transfer on first PC
- Accepts file transfer, and shows that 'transfer' now exists (and content matches).
Install
CCDrop is made easily available via the Titanium Package Manager. Running this command will quickly install CCDrop to 'ccdrop' in your computer.
If you get a 'file not found' error, you likely pressed 'n' while installed, meaning you didn't patch your startup file. Either:
- Run /.tpm/bin/tpm patch, reboot and retry the command – be sure to press 'y' where prompted during patch.
- or, install CCDrop using /.tpm/bin/tpm install CCDrop –dest ccdrop
Then, run 'ccdrop' and wait a little while. The first launch will take much longer than subsequent launches because the dependencies (Titanium and Plexus) will be downloaded.
