also great, and entirely in web browser so no download needed:

https://www.sharedrop.io/ - also works over the internet! no local network necessary

https://snapdrop.net/

And you can run your own local instance of Snapdrop too! Got it running in Docker on my Synology NAS.

PairDrop is an improved version of SnapDrop that works both locally and over the Internet. I've found it more reliable to set up.

Pairdrop is great. Lives in a tiny Docker container and hasn’t failed me yet.

From reading the app description:

Everything happens locally in the wifi network

Does this mean devices have to be on the same Wi-Fi network for this to work? This looks extremely interesting as someone that runs Linux on my home computer, and the vast majority of my transfers are between devices on my home WiFi network, but I'd just like to know if it works elsewhere.
