Croc: Easily and securely send things from one computer to another
I’m currently working on a new version of pcp [0]. Based on croc, magic-wormhole and the likes it doesn’t require a relay. It uses the IPFS DHT as a discovery point to connect two machines. Haven’t touched the currently released code in two years but the new hole punching capabilities of libp2p show promising result so I’m working on a new version.

[help] Use cli p2p to transfer files between 2 devices
I was wondering about this recently too. I found PCP - Peer Copy. Probably not secure enough to use in production. https://github.com/dennis-tra/pcp

Send: A Fork of Mozilla's Firefox Send
I‘ve also built a file transfer tool (CLI) with emphasis on decentralization. It’s a fully decentralized p2p file transfer tool based on libp2p:

I‘m currently trying to make it interoperable with https://share.ipfs.io/#/ which resembles the functionality of the posted tool.

Found this thing called Wormhole, looks like a pretty good Firefox Send replacement
https://github.com/dennis-tra/pcp It's really really good on the technical side, though it's still a WIP and has no GUI yet (shouldn't be very hard to implement though).

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.

How do I share folder between my Linux mint laptops?
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

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.
