shareviahttp VS localsend

I use https://github.com/marcosdiez/shareviahttp all the time, to share with other phones or with my ereader or PC.

adds a share option (Android) that bundles everything into a zip, starts an http server, and creates a QR code (to http://my-ip-address/).

Not out of the box, and susceptible to wifi blocking p2p, but otherwise very usable.

And where you have python installed you can do

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.

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.
