I'm genuinely curious if you've tried Android Beam. It works very smoothly in my experience and much more fun to use with a tap between two phones, but if I recall correctly it transfers over Bluetooth so is not as fast as AirDrop. That being said, it can be used in many more situations to transfer URLs between browsers, map directions, etc.

The last I attempted to try it was in 2014. I might have been too early.

Unfortunately the fragmentation of android hasn't been solved, and my current experience with android users is on vacation in places where none of us have signal, but the iphone users are able to share everything and the android users take amazing photos but aren't able to share it and their phone explodes in the heat before anyone can get it. Hard. Pass.
