Show HN: Material Files – Material Design File Manager for Android
Only through davx apparently https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles/issues/191
Supporting Android 5.0+ is impressive, though there was another file manager supporting Android 1.0+ discussed recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38789958 (I'm impressed by both, not an Android developer, curious how one ensures compatibility with ancient versions; actual testing, a compatibility linter, other?)
I also enjoy Material Files' README, particularly https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles#why-material-files (a clear articulation of "Why" is always informative) and https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles#inclusion-in-custo... (clear guidance to upstreams seems relatively uncommon, helps shed light on ecosystem dynamics otherwise invisible to me anyway).

Using Pixel with a Mac
I use Filezilla and Material Files to transfer large / multiple files via ftp. Otherwise Neardrop works great for quick file sharing.

Localsend: Open-Source Airdrop Alternative

FOSS apps to send files between Android and iOS?
Snapdrop - Since it has a web version, this was the only file transfer solution that I actually tested with people outside of my social circle. At least half the time, it's a gamble whether it will work or not. The connection tends to drop in the middle of the process. I've tried both the app and the web version, but unfortunately, neither of them is reliable enough to save me from the awkward glances of those who want to help me by sending notes, video presentations, and other materials.
