Tailscale’s Taildrop ( https://tailscale.com/kb/1106/taildrop/ ) has completely solved this problem for me.

Is it truly Synology only?

No, it supports macOS/win/linux + ios/android; the docs just highlight Synology NASs first.

Pretty cool and lightweight! I use KDE connect that allows me to have communication both ways.

I am also happy with kdeconnect, although I am not sure if I have set everything up correctly. I am un xfce and every once in a while use the kdeconnect cli to pair my phone, then I never think about it and just share my files to the downloads folder or copy paste something from the clipboard

I use Syncthing[0] for continuous file synchronization to/from my phone, its pretty nifty. Way more memory-heavy than something like this though. [0] https://syncthing.net/

If you're already using Telegram, you can use the Saved Messages pseudochat to transfer text and files between the phone and desktop. Telegram has an excellent desktop client.
