Apologies if someone has already posted about this; in that case I
must have missed it.
Localsend (free and open source) lets you transfer files between
devices that are on the same Wifi LAN. I've seen and tried many other
solutions, but this is the first one that actually worked for me. (I
tried transfers in both directions.)
https://github.com/localsend/localsend/releases/tag/v1.17.0You load the app on your phone (I found it in the Google Play Store)
and the appropriate version from the above link on your computer.
Yes, you can have more than two devices with Localsend, though I
didn't test that. Each install creates a device identifier name that
is unique to Localsend, to identify the sending device to the
receiver and vice versa.
You need to have Localsend actually running on both devices involved
in the transfer. A nice feature is that in Android when you have a
picture, you can just tap the Share icon and the picture will appear
in Localsend. I transferred a couple of pictures that were a few
hundred K each, and the transfer was instantaneous.
