I'm an apple fan, so for me I just use "Air Drop". :)
I should probably be using Air Drop more, I use an iPhone and am on a Macbook right now. Half the time I'm on a Windows or Linux machine though.
I use Dropbox because it was easy and I have some folders shared with me from other people, and a NAS at home.

It just works - for text, files and media. Very useful
and, IMO, better than Air Drop as you can use it on any device.
If anyone else is slightly annoyed, like I am, by the slick modern
website design that has incredibly little information about what it IS, the Github link at the bottom of the localsend.org page has a little bit more info in the README. (also there's information about building this open source project yourself)
I just so happened to come across this post and wanted to share a neat tool - I also use Air Drop... for my Apple devices. Yea - thats the holdup, right; well theres a really nice tool available on Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android AND Linux that you have to checkout;

Nice find. Just had a look.
As much as I use airdrop, it sometimes just wont find the device you
want to send stuff too... This looks like it might be a better option.
