Unfortunately not. Snapdrop uses WebRTC to transfer the files, and doesn't use any external turn servers for it. However if VPN is enabled, WebRTC is unable to communicate with other devices in your local network.

It's not bad in general, especially as files do not leave your local network and the server is only needed to establish the connection.
But if you want to get more details, I would suggest asking the snapdrop developers instead:

Is there a way around it without disabling VPN?

Is WebRTC a safe way to transfer files? I know there are concerns with it leaking data.

Thanks for your answers and hard work!

Just for reference:
Not only VPN's but also other tools like Adguard or uBlock Origin can be problematic...
