pyquickshare

An implementation of QuickShare in Python.

System requirements

pyquickshare has following expectations from the system:

• Bluetooth stack using BlueZ
• BlueZ reachable over D-Bus

As these are de-facto standards on Linux, pyquickshare should work on most Linux distributions.

Installation

poetry install

Usage

example.py is a basic example of how to use pyquickshare. It provides a command line interface to send and receive files using QuickShare:

poetry run python example.py receive

poetry run python example.py send <file>

Notes

This project would not have been possible without the amazing reverse engineering work done by grishka on the QuickShare protocol. Check out NearDrop, a similar project for Mac OS.
