Why
I wanted a simple and fast way to exchange small files, like Word-Documents, Pictures, URLs, etc. iChat and similar tools need much configuration and registering - I wanted a solution that would "just work". I used to use Mac OS X' FileSharing and the Mac OS X DropBox, but I didn't get notified, and I have to mount the other user's Home DropBox by hand. AirDrop does most of this quite good, but has some limitations.
Key Features
- Bonjour-enabled[1]
- No configuration necessary
- Automatically fetches username and user image from your Macintosh Preferences / Address Book
- Lets you transfer files to Macs in your local network as well as in other subnets
- Lets you browse and get files from Macs in your local[2] network
- largefile support[3]
- IPv6 enabled
- Creation of groups of peers (new in Schick 5.0)
- Sending of files to whole groups of peers (new in Schick 5.0)
- Cleaned-up interface (new in Schick 5.0)
- Grouping peers by type (bonjour, manually added or custom groups) (new in Schick 5.0)
