Quickly transferring files between PC and phone
-
Open source file manager Material Files lets you set an SSH server as a bookmark and mount it instantly. Moving files around just like like it's native. Works seamlessly through Tailscale.

Had the same issue before, cable was the cause.

Do you have any hosting in your home lab? Preferably something for running a docker container, but a hypervisor could do the job too.
Nextcloud is an option if you do. Technically speaking you could properly protect it and make it public. You don't have to do that though. Any file you upload on your computer could be copied to your phone or vice versa. If it's public, then this could be done from anywhere.

Yes, I have a Linux vm for docker. I've chucked up a pairdrop container. So easy.
-
Can't say I've used that... Yet. I like nextcloud because besides being compatible with Linux/Windows and having an Android app, it also has a simple web UI to access the files. It's probably closer to self hosted OneDrive than anything else I can think of.

Hey wormhole is closed source? Wow I didn't knew that.
-
Is it safe though?
-
There are two, the original open source version and its forks, and then the closed source version.
-
Safe as in encrypted and/or authenticated? Not at all! I only do this on networks I fully trust and with files that are not too sensitive. But it's quick and easy to set up. All my machines have python installed so hence the idea.
