CLI to browser P2P fileshare
I'm trying to find very specific software.I need CLI(!!!) tool like Croc to share files using P2P, but it's very inconvenient to ask people to install same software as me(Croc in this case). Instead i want to get direct download URL, so anyone can download it just by using browser.

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.
I know that it would be to optimistic to hope for Google.

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.
