i made sink. it's a simple little tool that continuously syncs folders between 2 devices. no cloud, no email, flash drives, no bs.

it just uses your local wifi. run it on your machines, tell them to trust each other, and you're set. and if you manage to edit the same file at once, it handles the conflict and saves both copies.

for anyone who just wants to get files from point a to b without the headache. hope it makes your life a bit less annoying.

Ok the topic of sharing things between machines/phones, what are people doing to do two-way sharing of text/screenshots/whatever on adhoc basis between Linux machines and phones (android mainly)? I can save it in a file and let syncthing handle it but that is not a very smooth workflow.

KDE Connect works great for sharing the clipboard.
