Absolutely blown away by the response to my post about WarpShare!

It goes to show that:

a) Apple-related posts are popular

b) People REALLY want better cross-device file sharing services.

With that in mind, here's a round-up of other Android --> PC file-sharing apps (links in the reply):

1) Android --> macOS:

* WarpShare. This app uses Apple's AirDrop protocol, so you don't have to install anything on your Mac (you do need to set AirDrop discoverability to "everyone" though). You do have to install the WarpShare app on your phone, though, and then select it from the share sheet when sharing file(s). Does not support receiving files on Android.

* NearDrop. This app uses Google's Nearby protocol, so you don't have to install anything on most Android phones since Nearby is built into Google Play Services. You do, however, have to install an app on your Mac in order to make it appear in the Nearby Share menu on your phone. Also does not support receiving files on Android.
2) Android --> Windows:

* Nearby Share from Google: An official app made by Google that uses Google's Nearby protocol, so you don't have to install anything on your Android phone. You do, however, have to install the program on your Windows PC. Sending/receiving files works extremely quickly.

* Nearby Sharing Windows 10/11: This app supports Microsoft's Nearby Sharing protocol so you don't have to install a program on your Windows PC. You do, however, need to install the app on your Android phone. Receiving files works, albeit very slowly as it's over Bluetooth.

3) Android --> Linux

There are no apps (yet) that support Microsoft, Google, or Apple's wireless file sharing protocols, though one developer is attempting to port NearDrop to Linux. That project, CrossDrop, is still a WIP, though.

Otherwise, KDE Connect is a good option. Requires installing an app on your phone and PC, though.

-----

I am well aware that there are a LOT of other file sharing apps/services out there, some of which don't even require an app as they're PWAs. However, I made this thread mainly to highlight the few options that are compatible with one of Microsoft, Google, or Apple's wireless file sharing protocols.

It's really a shame that all 3 companies have their own file transfer protocols that are all incompatible with one another, even though they're all based on Bluetooth/WiFi LAN/WiFi Direct communications under-the-hood. Microsoft has Nearby Sharing, Google has Nearby, and Apple has AirDrop.

I'm not really sure who even uses Microsoft's, but Apple's is very widely used and Google is slowly catching up. Apple, however, has no incentive to support other platforms. Google, to their credit, open sourced its Nearby library and is even pushing its inclusion into AOSP so Android phone makers can build Nearby compatibility into their own file transfer services (eg. Samsung's Quick Share).
