LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
> I wish quick share (né nearby share) was available on linux (even if via chrome).
I made NearDrop, which is a macOS implementation of Nearby Share: https://github.com/grishka/NearDrop
And of course, someone tried to reimplement it for other OSes: https://github.com/PlutoHDDev/CrossDrop

The Rise and Fall of 3M's Floppy Disk
I agree and get your point.
But localsend has worked well for me. Yes, it requires an app but if we could get vendors to bundle that rather than a boatload of bloatware.

iPhone Copy to PC Shortcut
Edit: This is very simple implementation, even a POC, for personal use between our own devices at home or other personal private network. Even works on hotspot. But no HTTPS, so don's use on non-private networks. LocalSend, as suggested by u/Fede777 seems to be better for every other use.
