LocalSend, a cross platform alternative to airdrop and nearby share.

My family uses it for almost all of our filesharing. IPhone to android, iPhone to windows PC, android to macbook, etc. Its works really, really well.

Just picked this up based on the up votes here, and I'm already a fan. Seems like it does what you want and nothing else, which is perfect.

Ooh I use apps that use the Magic Wormhole library. There's a linux app for it called Warp and several android apps, all FOSS.
