obligatory shilling for LocalSend, it's airdrop except open-source and completely cross-platform!

Yup, used this a lot until I started using KDE Connect more.

fantastic for someone like me who doesn't know shit about networks and file sharing yet has a mix of windows and linux machines

Use it, love it, has a great http webserver fallback option too

Didn't know about the plain HTTP option! I'm using Sharik for this

Are there any alternatives that are decently fast for large files? My computer and my phone both get at least 300 mbps from the router, and I have yet to find a local file transfer application that will be anywhere near that fast for large files (destiny, local send, kde connect, might have tried others, I don't remember)

I have used Copyparty on my LAN (with nginx as a reverse proxy), and remember it being fast enough to saturate a gigabit connection. I would probably believe the numbers quoted here: https://github.com/9001/copyparty?tab=readme-ov-file#reverse-proxy-performance
