    Why LocalSend is better than USB on Windows:
    No insecure Apple drivers

    Why is that less secure than this:

    1. Install the required apps
    a. On the iPad, install LocalSend <https://localsend.org/download>
    b. On the desktop, install LocalSend <https://localsend.org/download>
    c. On the iPad, install VLC <https://www.videolan.org/vlc/>

    To my mind use <https://localsend.org> make "secret debt" to end user.
    The same is true for VLC: Personally I use VLC on PC and on mobile, but
    my mind and my conscience involve to make donation. So it will be wise
    to recode the videos to iPod native format in order to use build in
    video player.

    So: In order to avoid framing your readers, you should advice they: <https://localsend.org/pl/donate>
    <https://www.videolan.org/contribute.html>

    I rely on magic-wormhole for this use case. It has command-line and
    graphical clients for almost every platform and has never failed me. It
    is one of the few pieces of software that "Just Works(tm)".

    On the very rare couple of occasions I've needed to trasnfer files
    (mainly photos) between any two of MacOS, iPadOS, Andriod, I've used InstaShare. It can be a bit flakey initially getting the two devices to
    see each to connect, but otherwise works fine.
