localsend VS wormhole-william

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.

See https://localsend.org/

Spread the word.

Something to consider, although I'm not sure how much it practically matters.

It works like a charm, and is really easy to use

Use local send to send files and folders.

I've recently discovered and can recommend LocalSend. It's FOSS, cross-platform, and it just works. Github page with more details here

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.

If you want go, there is a magic-wormhole implementation called wormhole-william [1].

Rymdport [2] is a decent cross-platform app using it.

A more popular and, I think, carefully analyzed alternative, from which croc was inspired, is Magic Wormhole; a good Golang implementation that compiles down to a single binary is wormhole-william:

Wormhole William, a slightly janky Android implementation of magic wormhole, for simple file sharing between devices. Mostly works!

use the go version (which you have to download from github) https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william

And there’s wormhole-William, but as a derivative of the Python magic wormhole it loses points for originality.

If you want to encrypt files and upload to the cloud, rclone. Otherwise age and Wormhole-William.
