    Literally saw this on Mastodon yesterday.

    “How come emailing a document to myself is still the easiest way to send something to another device?”

    “Have you tried using Linux?”

      I mean they aren’t wrong. KDE connect on phone and PC is a game changer. GS connect if you use Gnome Desktop. Not only can you send a file instantly, you can also copy your clipboard between devices, answer SMS on your PC, or have the phone pause your PC media when the phone rings. Its amazing. There is a windows version but it doesn’t work properly.

        Aye, “learn a new OS” as the solution to a problem solved by simply using LocalSend on whatever you already have.

      Is it? With the advent of cloud storage, it seems that is the easiest way. Any cloud storage, any OS, its the concept of cloud storage that solves this problem.
