For me kde connect is great for this and a lot of similar purposes(clipboard sharing, sms, media controls, notifications)

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

I have an alias in my .bashrc for that: alias instashare='python3 -m http.server 8082'

If you have qrencode on your system, you can also print a QR code with

    echo "http://$(ip route get 1 | sed -n 's/.*src \([0-9.]\+\).*/\1/p'):8082" | qrencode -t UTF8 -o -

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is it truly Synology only?

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

And words it poorly:

> Taildrop is only available on Synology with Tailscale v1.18.2 or later

I find

    hostname -I
Generally simpler and works in the 90% case.

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.

Just make sure to be aware that such "sync" via Telegram is not to be used for anything important as it's not E2E encrypted.

https://snapdrop.net is my go to for this. Works on any modern browser on the same LAN. Supports files and plain text. Previous HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25524472

Microsoft Edge blocks all downloads from Snapdrop :{ I have whitelisted it countelsss times. Still it blocks images.
