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.

    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
