    If only this also could be compatible with the Apple AirDrop, so we Linux users can receive files from Apple devices or send files from non-Apple to Apple without having to install something on the Apple device.

        And the other way around is impossible too? Is it impossible for 3rd party implementations to support the closed AirDrop protocol (through some sort of “hack”, I don’t know)?

          It’s already been done: https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop

          There are two problems:

          • Apple is able to make airdop so seamless because they ensure their devices support a special feature, wifi direct: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/428700
          • Nothing stops apple from just changing how airdop works to break the open source version’s compatibility.
