I’m running OpenSUSE leap 15.5, When I was on the linux mint, I was using warpinator but using it on openSUSE is troublesome and I wish there was a linux version of blip but unfortunately there is not.

    How big? When I’m lazy and the file isn’t large I just upload to a draft email and look at it on the other device. I use Windows but this isn’t really an OS specific method.

        I guess i depends on how much data you need to move and how long you want the sync open for. I’ve had a dropbox account for… I forget how long, and have never paid them a dime.

          So you have no data? You don’t use it for backups, or storing videos/photos? Seems like you’re paying for the same service I get, you’re just paying someone else, and likely more.

            No, I’m not paying Dropbox anything, I use it as a passthrough to transfer data from one device to another.

            Example: I like having the same background and lock screen images on all my devices, I pass those through Dropbox.

              I use S3 and a sync util to do the same with all my music, photos and videos. I’ll be hosting my own S3 soon enough, but for now AWS/Glacier instant retrieval is like 1/10 the cost of Dropbox

    I’ve heard plenty of other people have had a better time with it than I have, but I like to use KDE Connect for some reason that I’ll never understand. That, and Wormhole, through flatpak since I suck at installing through source.

    KDE Connect or LocalSend, you can even use tethering from Android without a wireless router.

      KDE connect has not always worked reliably for this in my experience. Not sure why, but sometimes files just don’t transfer

    If by wirelessly you mean via Wi-Fi network then one convenient option is qrcp. It generates a QR-code right in your terminal, which you can scan with a phone and send/receive files through a web interface on the URL it provides.

    If you want to transfer files regularly, there is another option. Almost every distro has Python installed, and the Python has a “built-in” FTP server. You need to just cd into desired directory and run the command python -m pyftpdlib -w. It will open a FTP server with root in this directory. You then can access it through a file manager, like Material Files for example, and send files and folders back and forth. In Material Files you can save the server address for future use.

        Yeah, actually it also has a HTTP server, in case you need to transfer something big one way and don’t want to bother with FTP connection
