I’m running OpenSUSE leap 15.5, When I was on the linux mint, I was using warpinator but using it on openSUSE is troublesome and I wish there was a linux version of blip but unfortunately there is not.

KDE Connect or LocalSend, you can even use tethering from Android without a wireless router.

KDE connect has not always worked reliably for this in my experience. Not sure why, but sometimes files just don’t transfer

I usually have a lot of troubles with KDE Connect no matter what device I’m using. Could be running windows 10 or Linux. I also sometimes have the files not transferring problem and even have had plenty of problems getting it to connect to devices that are in the same room on the same network. It’s infuriating and makes me wonder why I even use it.

This is also a great alternative to syncing photo albums between devices instead of syncing with the cloud.
