But I haven&amp;#x27;t used AirDrop so I&amp;#x27;m not familiar with how it works: in order to create an ad-hoc wireless connection, if the devices were already connected to some wifi access point, are they temporarily disconnected for the duration of the ad-hoc connection?&lt;p&gt;If not, I&amp;#x27;d guess that Apple devices maybe come with 2 WiFi adapters inside?</text><parent_chain><item><author>cmiller1</author><text>All of these &amp;quot;alternatives to airdop&amp;quot; don&amp;#x27;t seem to actually do what airdrop does, which is create an ad-hoc wireless connection.
