Quickly transferring files between PC and phone
-
Well my transfers aren't "time critical" either, but life feels easier if I don't have to jump through hoops to solve a task that involves copy files around.
Re: next cloud, looking for something more lightweight than that.

I was a dedicated xplore user for years until I saw all the advertising cookies that they stuffed into it. That made me sad and I uninstall it.

I often spin up a quick python http server. Just go to the folder which has the files you want to transfer and run the following command:
python3 -m http.server. This will server the folder contentServing HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 (http://0.0.0.0:8000/) .... On your phone you can then browse to http://PC_IP:8000 and download what you want/need. -
A bit heavy for my taste.

Not heard of this one. Thanks.

Too much typing, especially if transferring from phone to computer.
Thanks though.

I'd use anything else that is based on rsync over Syncthing

I just paid the whole 4$ for the pro version and to support an otherwise free app I've quite enjoyed.
No ads/tracking anymore.
Devs gotta eat.

Taildrop works relatively well for most all circumstances. Only thing is you gotta use trayscale or cli currently for sending files from a Linux/bsd machine. I don’t know if opened has a port for trayscale but it definitely has a port of tailscale.

Localsend works great for me.

What is heavy about that? Is it more complex on BSD or something?

Installing KDE will pull in hundreds of packages.

This sounds great. Thanks.

FX File Explorer has a local web-access feature. Start it on your phone and access via local IP, then just turn it off when you're done.
Don't use on public wifi, it's http-only.
