KDE Connect is better than anything these two juggernauts can conceive of.

Why not just use LocalSend? Open source, simple and cross-platform.

This looks amazing. I made a horrid version of this like 8 years ago. Eventually would just pass stuff around by putting it in my nas

i read this as “pass stuff around by putting it in my ass” and just didn’t question it for a solid 15 seconds

Me too! Didn’t notice it until I read your comment. “Putting stuff in your ass is a weird way of file sharing… Maybe they are just sharing really illegal stuff?”

I read it this way even after reading your comment, assuming they’d edited their post…

Man. I had no idea LocalSend existed. I’ve been looking for something like this for ages. I’d been using Snapdrop on and off, but it was pretty unreliable.

I use MacOS, so this shit has never been as simple for me as it should be!

I’ve always said: there has to be an easier way to catch a virus.

Has anyone built a decent Linux solution for this yet?

KDE Connect and Warpinator works well for me

PairDrop.net does the same via your browser. I think it’s more or less the same mechanism, just no install needed and fully cross platform. Just visit the site on both devices and share stuff.

The snapdrop app on fdroid gives you an easy share intent to use.
