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.

    While the solution is clever, I just wish I could simply type some raw text in a field and ping it on to my other machine.

      I do this with Syncthing (specifically Syncthing-Fork, it provides finer sync job control), using a text file I keep open on my phone.

      Not the most elegant solution, but is a damn near instant sync.

      Syncthing shows up in the share meju, so for files you can share them to Syncthing, then pick the sync job you want it to use. It’ll copy the file to that sync job’s folder.
