    LocalSend!

    Works flawlessly, on windows, linux and android (and others) and you can send files, folders, text, or eadily paste your clipboard.

    Airdroid? Provides a WebUI to browse your phone, send and receive files, and e. g. write SMS if you’re into that.

    idk what beaming is but I made https://dro.pm/ for sending files between any OS combination

    Supports command line also in case you’d like to beam from there as well (of course wget to download, but if you curl|head the domain you also get instructions for uploading)

    if you have the app/feature on both devices, QuickShare.

    on Linux, there’s RQuickShare, which lets you use QuickShare on Linux

    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

    I use FX on Android to connect to my shared drives on windows and my file server, and Nextcloud for syncing stuff. Looking to replace Nextcloud though because it’s a little heavy for just that function and is kind of janky sometimes due to permissions issues on Android when trying to access the files with other apps.

    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
