LocalSend VS CROC

I agree and get your point. But localsend has worked well for me. Yes, it requires an app but if we could get vendors to bundle that rather than a boatload of bloatware.

Note that if worst case combination of NATs doesn't allow direct connection, then by definition a relay is needed, hacker or... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

I have gotten a lot of use out of croc. https://github.com/schollz/croc F-droid has an android app and the cli runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows. Super pain free. It's not a synchronization solution, but sends stuff pretty easily. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
