Maybe LocalSend? https://localsend.org/ https://localsend.org/
Windows, Linux, Android, iOS and macOS. Seems quite cross-platform.
Can confirm it works smoothly for Linux and Android at the very least.
- lifestyleguru 3y agoMost people will happily install entire ad package from Meta and Google, but not some unknown "LocalSend app".
- Eisenstein 3y agoI know that Meta and Google make money from data, but they are also competent, so they can be trusted to at least not get breeched or sell the data to the an aggregator.

- Eisenstein 3y agoIf the choice was between 'the competent concentration camp' and 'the concentration camp run by one dude in his spare time', then if the question is 'which one is more likely to feed me', then yes, that is apt.
- happymellon 3y agoSeconded for LocalSend. Works a treat for me.
- ryandrake 3y agoInsane that we need a third party application for something as basic as this. This is as bad as an OS not shipping with a file browser.

- mrpotato 3y agoI just tried it and it works as expected for Windows <--> Android. I was using syncthing but this will replace it for one offs. EDIT: I checked out another app in the comments and their website mentioned that it didn't work with a VPN. I can also confirm that LocalSend works when connected to VPN.
- geophile 3y agoNever heard of it. Just tried it. Easy to install and run, copied one file in each direction (Linux/iOS). Seems to good to be true. Are we sure this isn't malware?
