I’m looking for a solution to send text from my PC to my phone, but also the other way around. Big plus if I can send files too in both ways.
I already use pairdrop which is nice (while not 100% reliable from my experience) for files, and ntfy is good to send a notification (so basically text) to my phone but the android app won’t let me send from my phone to my pc.
I used to use airdroid a while back, but I don’t want to use proprietary software if I can.
Any idea ?
Solution: snapdrop or pairdrop. For text, right click on PC, long press on phone.

Syncthing
Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought the purpose of syncthing was to keep files in sync between 2 machines. Not to send files nor text.
Text can be in a file. All you do is add to the file and sync. Then add different files and sync.
While the solution is clever, I just wish I could simply type some raw text in a field and ping it on to my other machine.
