I just had to email me a file I got sent to my phone and I feel unable to accept this as the better solution.
What you do guys use for inter-device communication?
Localsend
I either use KDE Connect or Pairdrop depending on which devices I am sharing befween
I use KDE Connect. Works well with Tailscale when I’m outside my home network.
KDE Connect and SyncThing
yes clipboard sharing and single file transfer is with KDE connect king
and Keepass and obsidian an photos with syncthing
Syncthing for everything: file transfers, backing up phone photos, synced obsidian vaults, etc.
For phone <-> PC I use localsend. If I do PC to PC, possibly even large amounts of files or large files in general I put them on a network drive specifically intended for that purpose
Copyparty. Or any other web file server.

good bot
I use ghost commander on my phone to access my NAS on my home network.
Oh, I remember a guy I met on a lanparty using it for everything
I really like microbin to copy paste files around.
Oh that’s cool! Cheers for that.
I know it’s not a dedicated (or that good of a) solution but I just upload stuff to a private room on my Matrix server.
Samba drive + vpn tunnel. If I’m working on my PC and want to do something with my phone: plainapp
SMB share ( Android <-> Windows/Steam Machine
Samba.
Or one time I made my own simple file sharing website
KDE Connect
