APK file transfer tool for MacOS to Beam
For those on MacOS, you can use a free tool called OpenMTP to do any type of file transfer from your MacOS to Xreal Beam. Supports multiple transfer of APK files. Feel free to give this a try if you prefer downloading all your APK packages to your Mac and transferring them in one go to your Beam. Have fun!

Android File Transfer works on my old MacBook Pro 2019, but not my newer M2 mac
TL;DR - Uninstall Android File Transfer (software hasn't seen an update since 2018), and switch to OpenMTP.

What are some things that iphones do that androids can't?
That said, Google's "Android File Transfer" app is not the only app which supports MTP on MacOS. People say good things about OpenMTP but I don't have personal experience with it: https://openmtp.ganeshrvel.com/

How to transfer files from a Samsung S10 to the Fairphone?
For media, you will need to transfer stuff on an intermediate device via mtp. For Mac you have open mtp https://openmtp.ganeshrvel.com. Linux should support this natively. No idea for Windows.

Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server
I've got another one on topic of self-hosted file sharing:
- FileBrowser running in Docker (https://filebrowser.org/features)
- Syncthing running in another container (https://syncthing.net/)
Syncthing keeps the files on your PC, Mac, BSD systems updated, and FileBrowser can point to the share and supply a convenient web UI. It works for me, it's kind of like a local Dropbox-lite.

Ask HN: Best useful tools that are helpful in your business?
We use syncthing to share files between our machines. It avoids is having to use dropbox / OneDrive etc. You just choose a folder and it automatically syncs it in the background.

LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
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.

Ask HN: How best to sync a subset of my files with a friend?
I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/.
After minimal setup, it just works(tm).
You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup").
I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. windows -> linux, linux -> mac)
For windows I usually recommend https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor, but vanilla syncthing works fine too (but don't try to mix them!)

Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop
Do consider Syncthing particularly if you are using Android. If using apple iOS you'd need the möbius sync client.

One thing that it beats the cloud / centralized sync on is because the connection is direct between devices when the initial transfer is completed the file is completely there on the other device. With a cloud type of sync you do the transfer twice. I've seen stack up on large media or with the structure of cloud services pricing making it expensive depending on how your workflow is setup with inside and outside parties. For example, Dropbox deduction from all parties' storage limits not just the sharer.
You can also point Syncthing at a local sync of Dropbox or Google drive and then forward the files to other recipients from that for some purposes.

Obsidian 1.5 Desktop (Public)
I think sync is a non-feature, as you can just ride on your existing solution.
For example, I use syncthing [1] with Obsidian to sync files off-cloud.

What do you use to write your fan fictions?
When I was 14 and just getting started, I used Notepad. Upgraded to Wordpad when I realized I loved putting italics in every other sentence, moved to Google Docs at around 25 when I started writing on my phone and wanted to sync with my computer, finally moved to Obsidian a few months ago (with Syncthing for syncing) when I decided I don't want to live in Google's house where they can burn my stuff down whenever they want.
