Local send is great, but usually my phone is just on data, so id rather not have to turn it on to send files. running a custom rom so no google local share or whatever. thanks :)

OnionShare is the most secure option that "just works" imho

I use PairDrop allot for sending peer to peer files/text to other PC's on other networks. FOSS and can be self hosted ;)

I use this app on my Pixel 6 running GrapheneOS, or you can install the website as PWA

eh a lot of effort for that one. make a send, share the send, open it, then download. defiantly has a use, so thanks for bringing it up, just not for my purposes rn :)

Nextcloud or Lufi if you want to upload, send a link and forget.

Magic Wormwole if you want to send while both computers are running.

Syncthing if you want to continously sync files on both machines.

The magic-wormhole android implementation named "wormhole." Iirc I got it off F-droid, for extra security I usually pgp encrypt the contents.
