    LOCALSEND

    It’s an app for your phone and another app for your computer. Works good. It’s how I do it. Uses wifi I think

    Localsend has been really well considered. Only wish is that it recognized links and opened them in a browser automatically

    If I’m out in public and needing to send or receive something on the fly and not go through the process of convincing someone to download an app they likely won’t download I’ll use Send it has come in handy in a pinch. I typically use Localsend as well but have never been able to get it to work on GOS devices.

    KDE Connect has an app for Gnome too (GS Connect) so lots of flavours of Linux can join in. Brilliant way to sync your phone to your PC in every way.

    pairdrop.net i believe is the url, is a good alternative to localsend if you dont want to have to have all devices having an app, e.g. sending a one off file to a friend

    Syncthing or Resilio Sync for regular, instant, no-fuss between devices you control.

    I use Syncthing-Fork in my phone (has more flexible sybc conditions) to keep specific folders in sync.

    I use Resilio Sync on my file server just for the Selective Sync feature, which enables me to easily grab any file from the server from anywhere.

      +1 Syncthing-fork Started using it a few months ago to sync notes between desktop and phone. Since it’s just a synced directory ive also used it to copy other files back and forth quickly

    I use Syncthing for this; it syncs directories on my phone and computer, so to put something on my computer from my phone I just put it in that directory. I share my camera roll so my pictures are synced with my computer.

    If you just want a “send this file” application, warpinator might do that.
