LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
You first start one server on a desktop/laptop which has the software, and then any client (Android, iOS, PlayStation, Kindle, etc) with a web browser (no need to install any client software) can upload or download files from it.
You can download prebuilt binaries for x86-64 Linux, Windows, or Mac OS (sorry, no prebuilt binaries for Apple Silicon, but they could be added if there is sufficient demand) from https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver/releases/ or compile from source using a nightly rust toolchain if you prefer.
Compared to cloud services or `python -m http.server 8000`, this is extremely fast since the server is written in rust, it is fairly simple (compiled and stripped binary is typically less than 3MB), it sends everything over local LAN, it seems to handle large files (over 4GB) fairly well, and you only need to install the software on one machine.

Localsend: Open-Source Airdrop Alternative
If you don't have a network connection, you can setup an adhoc hotspot on any Android 9+ (Settings > Network & internet > Hotspot & tethering https://support.google.com/android/answer/9059108) or iPhone (Settings > Personal Hotspot), then connect to it using any WiFi-enabled device.
A useful filesharing utility that a friend wrote is https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver - it's basically a nicer version of:
python -m http.server 8000

Croc: Easily and securely send things from one computer to another
Basically just start the file server, and then navigate to it using the web browser of your choice on any device (no need for a client application).
Download prebuilt binaries from https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver/releases/
Or install from source if you prefer:
# install rust toolchain

LANDrop – Drop any files to any devices on your LAN
A similar utility (much more bare-bones though) that a friend wrote is https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver
It works on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and therefore should probably work on FreeBSD as well if you can install a Rust toolchain:
pkg install curl

OpenDrop: An open Apple AirDrop implementation written in Python
Another option (also not Airdrop compatible) is https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver which is a Rust (Rocket) web server that you can run on a local machine. Open a browser and navigate to the machine's IP address at port 8000 to upload/download files from the web form.

Show HN: Retriever – Securely share secrets over the internet
Would like to give a shout out to LANDrop (not affiliated) if the users are on the local network. I use it. It's very good at saturating the link bandwidth and traffic is guaranteed not to exit the firewall.

LANDrop – Drop any files to any devices on your LAN
Looks like it is not. Maybe someone wants to maintain a fork.

trying to organize study material on ipad
iCloud Drives doesn’t break your file structure, you just drop the whole folders to the iCloud Drives, let it sync, and move them out of iCloud Drive to the internal storage on your iPad. Alternatively there’s plenty of other apps that can do local transfer, like https://landrop.app/. Use another cloud drive service like google drives. Or setup file server on your Mac with SMB and connect it on your iPad: https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/mac-help/mh17131/10.13/mac/10.13

KDE Connect / Air drop equivalent for Elementary OS 6.1
I've looked... but its seems there isn't an application based solution without requiring app indicator support which is something that eOS doesn't officially have. If you're comfortable modding eOS to have app indicator support you can then use LanDrop or use KDE Connect with an app indicator. You can also use sharedrop.io or snapdrop.net.
What are some alternatives?
webwormhole - Peer authenticated WebRTC.
snapdrop - A Progressive Web App for local file sharing
sharedrop - Easy P2P file transfer powered by WebRTC - inspired by Apple AirDrop
localsend - An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop
qrsend - ⌨ Send files over WIFI by scanning QR code in terminal
servefile - serve or receive files from shell via a small HTTP server
NearDrop - An unofficial Google Nearby Share app for macOS
snapdrop-android - Android client for local file sharing via https://snapdrop.net/ and https://pairdrop.net
rymdport - Cross-platform application for easy encrypted file, folder, and text sharing between devices.
sharik - Sharik is an open-source, cross-platform solution for sharing files via Wi-Fi or Mobile Hotspot
shareviahttp - Share Via Http - Android
syncthing-android - Wrapper of syncthing for Android.
