Intel Unison was a strong tool for Android and iOS users that wanted to share files, check messages, and more....

    One might try KDE Connect, Local Send, and Signal which has a desktop client

      KDE connect is a life saver.

      Cancelled pushbullet for it, it’s incredible.

          Honestly the fact that KDE package and distribute windows versions of so many of their apps is really cool. A great way to share the FOSS love with people who might not be fully into it yet

          That’s like taking something pristine and dipping it in liquid shit. Which can be applied to anything and everything on the store…

            It’s still miles better than going on the individual websites and downloading installers and then executing the installers to install the program

      It’s even better if you’re running KDE. Only so much they can do with a Windows program.

      Yeah. It is oddly worded in places, but otherwise seems fine. I didn’t see any grammatical errors.

      Edit: No, you’re right:

      Windows 11 Phone Link accomplishes the same thing, and it approaches Android connection in the same way Unison does. However, it’s limited to Android and iOS users who can’t utilize the function due to how Windows approached compatibility in the first place.

      That makes absolutely no sense.

    I just stopped using Connect to Windows to test out Sefirah. I haven’t used it enough to form an opinion on it, but it’s open source.

      This looks like it might be very good. Looking forward to trying it to augment Scrcpy. Wishing it worked on Linux too. Anybody know if there are tools for Linux to similarly increase the functions of Scrcpy?

    There is also an option to use Android’s QuickShare from MacOS: https://github.com/Martichou/rquickshare
