Payload lets you drag and drop directories and lists of files. It also handles gracefully resuming after network errors.

No mobile support yet but since Tauri is rolling it out, it’ll be easier to add it as soon as I can make time.

Sounds great, will test it out directly an andoid app is released :)

Be able to transfer folder and not just files between devices wireless easy without internet would be amazing.

You can also try Feem (https://feem.io).

It transfers folders without Internet, and has an Android app like you requested.

It also supports resumable file/folder transfers, which majority of other tools mentioned in this thread don't support.

What makes it blazingly fast?
Haha that’s currently a way to explain to people who are used to hosting/sync based cloud solutions that anything that is (a) local p2p and (b) doesn’t need to upload-before-download is much faster. It’s also faster than WebRTC based solutions which there are dozens, WebRTC kind of sucks for large stuff.

That said, the next version will have multi connection tcp striping, which is a lot faster than any single tcp solution in many cases, especially over long distances, similar to some ftp/usenet clients. (Spoiler there will be online p2p transfers. See https://github.com/betamos/rdv if curious)
