Hello.

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.

      Right click or long press (mobile) will bring up a text box. I mostly use it to send links back and forth between desktop and phone.

        I feel stupid for missing this functionality.

        That is my solution. Thank you :)

      Snapdrop and pairdrop both support txt. On a PC right click your target. Android method will probably vary based on what app you’re using.
