[Feature Request] Add always accept for known devices during session

Open denizt opened this issue 8 months ago • 3 comments

I needed to send a bunch of things from my device and it became quite cumbersome to click accept every time. So during a lunch break I did a quick poc to always accept. I understand the implementation has a lot of holes, such as the device is only identified by the name, but I was wondering if this could implemented in a better way to reduce the friction if the user wants to send several links/files.

+1 I send a lot of different screenshots and screencasts to my Mac for work, one at a time throughout the working day.

As far as I understand the protocol, it isn't possible to reliably identify devices without talking to Google servers.

Thanks @grishka! I added a check for device type which obviously is easy to figure out/spoof, however I can't find a better way to add another layer of protection either 😄
