kde connect is incredible, even for people on gnome. highly recommend
You might already know this, but GSConnect is a reimplementation of KDE Connect as a GNOME Extension

#56you can also send a single small file without installing anything thanks to these free services.
curl -s https://qrcode.show -d https://patchbay.pub/yourname/openshare && curl https://patchbay.pub/yourname/openshare --data-binary @./test.jpg
If your console prints artefacts add -H "X-QR-EC-Level: H" or -H "Accept: image/jpeg" > qr.jpg && qr.jpg to open in image viewer.

#57Another option is https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver which is a Rust (Rocket) web server that you can run on a local Windows, Mac or Linux machine. Open a browser and navigate to the machine's IP address at port 8000 to upload/download files from the web form. Works on a LAN or Wifi network without any Internet access.
