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?

    For files I use syncthing (also for music/photos/notes/etc… syncing files is IMHO the way to go wherever applicable).

    For sending links to my PC (eg. articles linked from podcasts’ notes) I used to rely on firefox sync, but I’m starting to distance myself from Mozilla so I am gonna experiment with wallabang.

    For sending small notes to myself (stuff that I want to sort or act upon when I get to my PC), I’m using signal’s “note to self” but I’m investigating alternatives because signal doesn’t mark such messages as unread and so sometimes I forget I’ve sent some.

      Yep. For folders where I want access quick access to everything in the folder, SyncThing is best.

      Starting to dabble with KDE Connect for one-off file transfers where SyncThing is overkill

        where SyncThing is overkill

        I just have a dedicated shared folder between my phone and desktop and drop oneoff stuff there (it’s also easier to script this way)
