Is PairDrop safe for transferring photos from iPhone users to Android users and vice versa without having to be on the same wifi network? This is one thing I miss after ditching the iPhone. The website advertises this capability but I often wonder about sending stuff over the internet. I know about LocalSend, though I haven't convinced many of my friends & family to install that app, either.

    Good point about the word "safe." A better way to phrase my question is, for sharing low sensitivity SFW photos w/ friends and/or family (e.g., a group photo at a bar or restaurant, or a family photo from Christmas morning), would you trust a tool like PairDrop or Destiny over "traditional" sharing methods such as texting the photo to everybody over SMS? (assuming we aren't or can't get on the same network, otherwise I'd probably just go w/ LocalSend)

    Thanks for the tip about the Wormhole app. It looks like PairDrop also supports multi-recipient based on a brief visit to their website and cursory review of their FAQ (that is assuming multiple recipients can join a room). Still good to know about various alternatives, though, especially for asynchronous transfers.
