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.
