    LocalSend, a cross platform alternative to airdrop and nearby share.

    My family uses it for almost all of our filesharing. IPhone to android, iPhone to windows PC, android to macbook, etc. Its works really, really well.

      Another thing like that I wish I’d discover sooner is syncthing - it’s really intuitive, just point it to a folder and it syncs stuff across your devices automatically. With it, a lot of cloud storage, backup and file transfer applications and features are completely redundant.

      EDIT: Ah, I did not scroll far enough to see that this recommendation is literally the next comment from this.
