Thanks for that list of file-sharing apps between the operating systems.

None of the apps even comes remotely close to solving the stated networking
problem (since they all *copy* the file), but the first 3 of the 4 on that
list are still *nice to have* since they help the user copy files over WiFi
on their local network.

1. Send Anywhere (it *copies* the file, which isn't the question)
2. Feem v4 (it copies the file, which isn't the question)
3. Instashare (it copies the file, which isn't the question)
4. PushBullet (same, but this one requires registration)

BTW, even though these don't even come close to solving the stated problem,
these apps are *nice* for "copying" files between devices though!

Thanks for that list of payware password managers.

Unfortunately, this list is even worse than the prior list
in that not one of those stores the password file on the LAN.

Summary:
1. Dashlane (shill to rent your passwords off the cloud)
2. RoboForm (shill to rent more than 10 passwords off the cloud)
3. mSecure (shill to rent your passwords off the cloud)
4. 1Password (shill to rent your passwords off the cloud)
5. LastPass (shill to rent your passwords after the 2-week trial period)

It's just not anywhere in the problem set to store any of your private
data, particularly passwords, on the cloud.

What might work though, is to set up a "local cloud", and then see if the
password managers can work with that local cloud (but that's a lot more
effort to set up since server protocols are likely involved).

In summary, neither list even remotedly came close to solving the problem,
but while the second list was nothing but cloud shills, the first list does
seem, at least upon first inspection, to be worth checking out to solve a
*different* problem (which is cross-platform sharing of files).

thanks!
