[Solved] Solution to send mostly text but also files from android to pc and pc to android (lemmy.ml)

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.

Signal messenger has a note to self function that can be opened on the phone and windows that will do text and small files

Not sure why all the downvotes, I use the note to self function for exactly this type of thing all the time. Though to be fair signal is both on my phone and on my computer basically all the time because I use it to talk to everyone too...

EDIT: oh, it's downvoted because this is the selfhosted community....
