    Kde connect works good, but https://pairdrop.net/ may be helpful.

    KDE connect works great with Linux. You can easily put stuff on and get stuff off your phone.

    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.

    I use Signal’s “note to self” conversation. Since you can install the desktop version of Signal on basically any OS, it is almost perfectly cross-platform.

    File share on a NAS and “save to files” under the share menu on iOS. Also the venerable “send yourself an email” if the file is small enough

    I use sftp with either termux on android or ish on ios, alternatively telegram or email.

    Edit: I don’t use it, but if I’m not mistaken, nobody mentioned any cloud service.

    And before I discovered ish, I used the python html module to start an html server and connected with safary. You shouldn’t do this when your connected to the wild, open internet - it opens up the device on which your server runs for everybody unless you invest the work to secure the html server, taking a 1min research 1 line task into real work.

    There are already mentions of LocalSend (i use it for smaller stuff), Syncthing (for keeping folders synchronized, i use it to keep Wine prefixes between my Pc and my Steam Deck up to date) and KdeConnect (I use it for Clipboard sharing); I also use Copyparty, which runs on everything that allows python to run (so pretty much everything) and handles everything from single files to folders, up- and download, drag&drop support, serving mediafiles and so on, with lots and lots of features. give it a try!

      My phone and computer can occasionally see each other through KDE Connect. Never when I actually have a use for it though.

        I have both my phone and my computers in tailscale and connected them with direct IP.

        So now my phone can connect to my computer all the time, wherever I am !

        Pretty useless but fun

        Make sure you are on the right network. My phone kept switching wifi and it took me forever to troubleshoot it.

        You might have some background power saving mode enabled for the KDE app on your phone.
