On my pixel there's a Bluetooth option under the share menu... I'll try it with windows when I can

You need a Google account to send files from Android to Windows over Bluetooth now? Bruh.

You can use pairdrop.net to transfer files between any 2 devices on the same wifi/lan.

Check out LocalSend

[–] Aopen@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Localsend if you want to just send files

Kde Connect if you want to deeply connect phone with pc

I use session, since it works anywhere without an account

[–] AVeryCleverName@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the chat app?

i think syncthing is actually going to be a better solution for what i want to achieve (keep local music files on my phone on my PC too), but it's good to know these things.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 1 points 1 year ago

Sync thing is great. I use session more as copy and paste buffer
