Local-first and cable when you need bulk transfer makes a lot of sense. BLE gets a lot of hype but for big syncs it’s the wrong tool.

Exactly. USB-c to USB-c cables are just about everywhere and this is really practical for sharing gigabytes with friends. Can also automatically use WiFi or the local hotspot, whatever is faster. On the Android the "proximity share" or whatever is called requires a Google account registration and uploads a log of what is transferred. Also, they limit to just transfer one file at a time. Here there is privacy and you can ship entire folders with everything inside.
