Mine is Local Send which is a FOSS alternative similar to air drop that works across a variety of devices.

Got any recommended sources for someone looking to do the same thing? My home server is approaching 18 years old, was looking to set up something neat and tidy to replace it when it eventually fails. Tricking a windows vm sounds pretty useful too!

I don't have a good primary source, its been a lot of disparate googling. But if you have any questions at all, let me know. I love helping

I might take you up on that, thanks for the offer!
