Nice tool, didn't knew about it, seems far more convenient for dumb end users than what I use right now.

Either setup http/ftp servers but that's painful to explain, or use services over Internet which is a shame on local network...

I'll definitely be using LocalSend for my less tech-savvy friends, but I've had lots of success myself with Portal. It works local or over internet, depending on if it can make a direct connection or not. Works great for quick file transfers to and from my desktop and servers.

ooh portal looks awesome.

I've been using the wormhole.app site or wormhole-william version for when I'm able to use a CLI. Will need to try out Portal tho, looks shiny ✨
