Quickly transferring files between PC and phone (lemmy.sdf.org)

Hey,

I was wondering what folks use to quickly send a file or a link between your PC and android phone in a lightweight and self hosted way.

Currently I use syncthing to copy files around, but I'm looking for something more immediate, and quick than doesn't involve searching for folders in a file manager.

Example use case: Send a file from PC to phone. Notification pops up on phone, tap it to access.

(PC runs OpenBSD)

What lightweight software do you guys use?

Stuff I tried so far:

syncthing
xmpp
tox
scp and termux.
magic wormhole

Localsend works great for me.

Yeah, can recommend that one too Although it sometimes seems to have some performance problems with a large amount of files - could be, that it's already fixed though

[–] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah for large folders and stuff probably better to use SFTP or WebDAV
