Hello.

I’m looking for a solution to send text from my PC to my phone, but also the other way around. Big plus if I can send files too in both ways. I already use pairdrop which is nice (while not 100% reliable from my experience) for files, and ntfy is good to send a notification (so basically text) to my phone but the android app won’t let me send from my phone to my pc.

I used to use airdroid a while back, but I don’t want to use proprietary software if I can.

Any idea ?

Solution: snapdrop or pairdrop. For text, right click on PC, long press on phone.

    KDEConnect works great, you can share every form of content I’ve run across between desktop and mobile device. Runs on Linux, Windows and Android. Not sure if there’s a Mac client.

      Thanks for your answer. I remember having tried it twice before. If I remember correctly, I ditched it because it was too complicated for my use case. But as everyone is suggesting it here, I shall give it another try :)

        If you run Tailscale on your phone and PC, they can sync from anywhere (Tailscale is a private mesh network client).

          Any vpn into your home network should work right? And that would include other solutions intended for local transfers mentioned here
