LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
Some CLI alternatives if you don't need the GUI:
Croc: https://github.com/schollz/croc
Magic-Wormhole: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole
I used to use MW but switched to croc as the single binary was easier to deploy.
This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement.
Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ?
I have used both for a number of years already.

How to copy a file between devices?
I have gotten a lot of use out of croc. https://github.com/schollz/croc
F-droid has an android app and the cli runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows. Super pain free. It's not a synchronization solution, but sends stuff pretty easily.
- Better way to transfer files between Windows <> Mac?

Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
Check out croc, I've been using it for years, and it works pretty great too!

LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
what does widespread mean I always use https://www.sharedrop.io/ for myself only tho.

How to copy a file between devices?
I like to use ShareDrop.io [1]. It's peer to peer, auto discovers in local networks but works globally with shareable links. Only downside, because nothing is stored it's not asynchronous.
- Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop
- YouTransfer: Self-hosted file transfer and sharing solution

Localsend: Open-Source Airdrop Alternative
Like https://www.sharedrop.io/?
It finds devices on the same network automatically but also works across networks when using the plus button on the top right.

LANDrop – Drop any files to any devices on your LAN
https://github.com/szimek/sharedrop
"If I was feeling paranoid and wanted to know if my files are being sent to some third destination..."
then I would not use a third party website.
But I'm not feeling paranoid. Rather, I like downloads. I like so-called "native apps", otherwise known as programs. I like them written in certain languages. I like to read and edit the source code. Javascript is not one of the languages I prefer. Nothing against it. I just don't have much need for it.
In case anyone wants a variant that doesn’t even require a download I can heartily recommend:
I think of Sharedrop every time HN has a discussion about how the web has gotten too complicated and it should just all be documents etc etc… here’s a truly useful app that doesn’t leave me worrying about what access it is and isn’t taking, doesn’t need a security audit, etc etc. and I don’t have to install a thing.
What are some alternatives?
