LOCALSEND
It’s an app for your phone and another app for your computer. Works good. It’s how I do it. Uses wifi I think
KDE Connect has an app for Gnome too (GS Connect) so lots of flavours of Linux can join in. Brilliant way to sync your phone to your PC in every way.
KDE connect all the way. Runs on Linux, Android, and Windows (I think). Good way to share files, notifications, and clipboard.
Localsend has been really well considered. Only wish is that it recognized links and opened them in a browser automatically
Just use Telegram Saved Message feature and send files to yourself This pipeline works for me since it was released
Airdroid? Provides a WebUI to browse your phone, send and receive files, and e. g. write SMS if you’re into that.

Sending files over bluetooth
let’s
Phone to computer and back, I always use tailscale plus any file manager.
Then you can browse your files and grab whatever whenever you need to off your computer
if you have the app/feature on both devices, QuickShare.
on Linux, there’s RQuickShare, which lets you use QuickShare on Linux
I find the scp command to be extraordinarily powerful for never having been taught anything about it in school.
too scary
How so?
just a joke, I meant the other scp
Ah, I hadn’t heard of that before. But good reference!
If your PC has bluetooth: The default file share that comes up when you hit the share button can use bluetooth. Just set the PC to receive a file.
How are the speeds compared to wifi?
Profoundly, hilariously slow.
bluetooth would obv. be slower, but it’s fine for small files imo. you definately start to feel the slowness on large files or a large amount of files (each one is its own transfer, and from experience, I feel that it would have gone faster on WiFi.)
