about LocalSend: https://localsend.org

LocalSend works with Android, iOS, Linux, Windows and MacOS

Aeon Did you try to share data between profiles on GOS with that app ?

Aeon I use croc personally but this looks nice

Hat

No I have not tried that yet. I am going to see if it works. I am gonna report back.

Edit: I have tried it does not seem to work cross-profile.

mmmm

Hat If you're looking for a solution, I send info between profiles with kde connect. Works pretty well.

Does it use specific standard ports? Syncthing doesn't work for cross profile transfers using default settings for that reason.

Hat

mmmm It seems nice, but I'm a bit reluctant to use it because it needs to disable "Block connection without vpn" on GOS. And I read somewhere that it needs admin rights on Windows.
LocalSend need also the same restrictions ?

mmmm I've had issues with KDE Connect and my VPN.

raccoondad Update: downloaded local send, will still use croc in cases where I don't have a direct wifi connection, but DAMN its good

Hat Croc doesn't need that and it works with non-locally connected devices 0>0

Big croc simp because I hated scp tbh

mmmm

Hat indont have that problem it works perfectly fine between owner profile with proton VPN taking the slot including block connections without VPN, and a user profile with rethink plus protonvpn and again with connection blocking. So I don't really understand what you mean.

Hat

Hat read somewhere that it needs admin rights on Windows.

The post I read in another forum seem outdated. I could run the KDEconnect on Windows and share files without an admin prompt.

Even on Bluetooth "Block connection without VPN" works as attended so it block the connection.

mmmm I think the key is the RethinkDNS app on your set up.

I would like a tutorial for RethinkDNS. Maybe an idea for the Side Of Burritos channel 😉

If I ever needed to send data between profiles, I would have used Proton Drive or USB stick. One nice chunky encrypted zip file. Destroy after use :)

I've always used Dukto between all my devices but will check LocalSend out.

Sorry for necro'ing this thread but I can't seem to get local send to work with my GOS phone.

Are you guys needing to do anything differently to set it up?

AlphaElwedritsch

What do you mean with "you can't get it work"?
Can you give more details please

Hat

raccoondad Thanks
6 MB for the original release on PC, and 160 MB for the adapted version on Android. That a lot of additional code.

Hat

Hat works as attended

as "expected"

Apologies I missed the replies.

For me at least, my GOS phone will not show itself on other devices (both arch linux and macos).
I thought mullvad was blocking networking connections but that setting does not seem to have any affect.
GOS/android permissions are set to allow on the localsend app.

I am using openwrt routers but doubt that is the problem because localsend works with other devices on the network.

dairymilkbatman I thought mullvad was blocking networking connections but that setting does not seem to have any affect.

The local network sharing feature in Mullvad requires "Block connections without VPN" to be disabled. In case you weren't aware of that.

Also tried manually setting the IP addresses.
