@scottslowe It depends! If you want to synchronize devices, Syncthing is a very good solution.
But for sporadic sending files between devices, Localsend works incredibly well.
@scottslowe For single file sharing now and then: #LocalSend https://localsend.org/ - works on Linux, Android, iOS, Windows, Mac.
For real folder sharing and syncing - #NextCloud.
@scottslowe for occasional single files I'm using scp or rsync.
But for more compatibility with the local #macos and #ios devices (and their users!) I'm also running a #samba server on a #raspberrypi. Remote access is not required here.
@scottslowe AFAIK MacOS does support NFS as well as SMB/CIFS. This said for sharing a couple of files from time to time I tend to use #localsend
@scottslowe A simple tool is #localSend
https://localsend.org
@scottslowe beyond network file systems, maybe webdav is for you. it can be configured to traverse firewalls. and then there is also unison, syncthing or the cloud productivity tooling that eliminates the need like immich, nextcloud etc.
@kdieter Unison and SyncThing are in my toolbox for my own systems, and they work well. I may need to get some sort of self-hosted file sharing solution going to ease collaboration with my wife, though.
@scottslowe @kdieter for a file sharing solution, I’ve always liked seafile. Think open source dropbox.
@ErikBussink I do use LocalSend now, but only for myself. Getting it installed on her Mac is probably a good idea.
@giggls Localsend is great. I use it myself, but I haven't gotten it installed on her Mac yet. I can fix that! :-)
@maddin I've considered using more self-hosted solutions, so perhaps that is a path I need to explore further.
@scottslowe Not only does it work, but it's also not beholden to third parties deigning to continue allowing access/service.
@cweiske I use LocalSend now for myself, but it's a good idea to get it installed on her Mac. I've also been looking at more self-hosting, so perhaps NextCloud is a good route there. Thanks!
@sam I am a current SyncThing user for my own devices, and I use LocalSend as well---probably a good idea to get LocalSend installed on my wife's Mac.
