   While the Files app eventually added an SMB client, the real problem to   
   solve if we ever want Apple devices to work in the real world is to be able   
   to transfer files bidirectionally between iOS & Android/Linux.   
      
   While setting up an SMB server on Linux isn't all that difficult, since   
   most Linux desktop owners will also have root access, it won't be that   
   simple to set up an SMB server on Android (since most are not rooted).   
      
   Hence, the real problem with Files:SMB is that it doesn't work in the real   
   world, whereas, the suggestion of using LocalSend does work in the real   
   world.   
      
   That, in a nutshell, is the fundamental difference between the subterranean   
   caverns of the underground Apple "ecosystem" and the real world above it.
