As others have said, I use a combination of LocalSend on all my devices (Win64, Linux, iOS…) and a Syncthing folder that I call QuickSync and added as a shortcut to all of my file managers a few years ago. Syncthing, in particular, works so well that you don’t even notice it, until you have a file conflict. It’s a great solution to have files synced easily.

Can you also use it to send files to, say, a colleague in the same office?

Or to a client asking for a file in an e-mail?

I have no idea. If you’re on the same LAN, I assume you can use LocalSend, although I haven’t had any luck with it on my corporate, segregated, network. I’m betting it doesn’t work with complicated configs or MAC address filtering.

https://github.com/localsend/protocol

Defaults:

- Multicast UDP for discovery

- HTTP for file transfer

Will work in an office, but not for a email transfer to a customer
