WorkOS

I like to use ShareDrop.io [1]. It's peer to peer, auto discovers in local networks but works globally with shareable links. Only downside, because nothing is stored it's not asynchronous.

I have gotten a lot of use out of croc. https://github.com/schollz/croc
F-droid has an android app and the cli runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows. Super pain free. It's not a synchronization solution, but sends stuff pretty easily.
It's written in Flutter, btw

Android: install termux, `pkg install openssh`, and preferably run `termux-setup-storage` to give it access to storage folders.
iOS: I think https://ish.app/ ?
Shameless plug, I wrote a simple web app to handle file transfers between computers on my local network: https://github.com/fastily/dumb-file-drop
If you're fine with plain http on your local network, you can use https://github.com/mihaigalos/aim
Spoiler: I wrote it.
There is also Send.Vis.ee, which is a community fork of Firefox Send. It has always worked very well for me personally. There are many public instances available with varying sizes and expiring conditions.

To add to this, it's reasonably easy to run, and has many different plugins, from a calendar and contacts list, to an online document editor (like Google Docs, except it can be pretty slow and/or resource intensive: https://nextcloud.com/office/), to a simple clone of Slack (https://nextcloud.com/talk/), a mail client (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/mail) and other things.
That said, I've had updates (across major versions) break things on multiple occasions, one out of two servers running the exact same version has random crashes and in addition to that the file locking by default (if enabled, but not using Redis: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/config...) has broken and prevents me from deleting a file that just sits there and takes up a few GB of space. Oh and their Android app fails to upload files if I use the share option, instead of the file picker from within the app.
On the other hand, sure beats storing data on third party clouds and is free, so I'll still keep using it.

There is also "aft"[0] (I'm the author) for transferring files between devices.

LAN, Android / PCs, easy to use for non techs
no middleware and other sh..
I am surprised to not see Jami ( http://jami.net ) mentioned here yet. It is a GNU project and is fully cross platform. I use it to send files and messages between my devices, as easy as Telegram or Whatsapp.

I created an automated installer to provide this functionality on KDE Plasma using Dolphin this morning to emulate the experience of sharing via TailDrop on Mac for Linux.
