LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
https://github.com/localsend/localsend
Something to consider, although I'm not sure how much it practically matters.
But they also have Terms of Service (https://localsend.org/#/terms-of-service) which are not so great:
You represent that you are over the age of 18. The Company does not permit those under 18 to use the Service.

Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop
I've tried a lot of similar tools for sending files between devices in local area network and found that https://localsend.org works best. Yes, it requires an application installation, but the transfers are much more faster and reliable when browser is not involved. And its Android application works nicely on Google TV/Android TV, so I can send files there easily.
