Can someone please explain to me why sharedrop does not work with VPN / TOR?

Does anyone know of any alternatives that work with VPN / TOR?

I love the fact that sharedrop is open source, you can host it yourself, it works without registration/login and you don't need to install anything except a browser.

VPN/TOR will traditionally take over all connections and route them through its own tunnel. Yes the tunnel does go over the LAN/WLAN but it does not interact with the LAN/WLAN directly and this is a good thing because it means that everything is sent protected to the VPN/TOR tunnel you use.
