What's your guys' preferred app for android -> linux local network file share? I don't have dropbox on this side and I'd rather not write the thing myself, lol. Just something that can quickly share pictures and such.

I'm a huge fan of LocalSend. I don't particularly like Flutter, but the app itself is damn good.
Word of warning, though. There is no Dart compiler for BSD (yet). · 2 months ago
@johano noticed. So good. I feel like it'd be a little better for like a laptop that holds a lotta presentations but even on a desktop at home, amazingly smooth experience. And *much* faster than dropbox.
I wonder if there's a good way to make it open remotely via some kinda SSH setup. · 2 months ago
KDE Connect is magic and I use it all the time 😃 Warpinator is good too specifically for file sharing · 2 months ago

@fvey Just set it up. Oh my god, I can move the mouse on my desktop from my phone. This is magic. · 2 months ago
If you can handle or are already in the Plasma/Qt ecosystem, I found KDE Connect quite useful. I haven't actively used KDE for several years so YMMV! · 2 months ago
There is "CIFS Documents Provider" that allows you to mount Samba shares and access them from standard AOSP file manager application. It's on F-droid.
And you can always use regular web server to download files from your phone's browser.
If you want to upload files from your phone and want to have some semblance of UI, I recommend SLCL: https://gitea.privatedns.org/xavi/slcl
It has minimal dependencies. I use it myself — I've put it behind nginx and use it to upload photos from my old Lumia phone — works fine! · 2 months ago
