I’m running OpenSUSE leap 15.5, When I was on the linux mint, I was using warpinator but using it on openSUSE is troublesome and I wish there was a linux version of blip but unfortunately there is not.
KDEconnect or gsconnect if you’re on KDE or Gnome respectively.
There’s an in-development program for GNOME called Valent. It’s been pretty solid for me. It’s also not a GNOME shell extension, instead a native app.
Oh, nice. Thank you, I’ll take it for a spin.
Went to look into it, and seems to be in very early stages. I’ll set up the flatpak on my computer and laptop to help where I can, seems like a very nice option. Do you know how to integrate it to Android? I could not find anything on that.
Edit: So it works from the KDEConnect Android app. Nice.
Syncthing
There is an fdroid version named syncthing fork. Give that a go.
What phone are you using? I’ve used it my many Android devices from different manufacturers. Always worked flawlessly.
Interesting. I currently use it on a Samsung Galaxy S22 and a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. In the past, I’ve used OnePlus, Redmi, and Realme devices. Always worked.
Maybe post it in their forum? They’re usually very helpful.
Oppo has very aggressive battery management.
While I was using one, had to manually turn off battery management for syncthing, and check after major updates…
But worked flawlessly once that issue was solved.
That could be a permissions issue that doesn’t allow the app to run on background, Maybelline?
Something like this happened on my sister’s laptop. She got a new laptop with Windows 11. She followed some website to set up Syncthing, but it wasn’t syncing. Turns out, there’s some kind of “trusted network” deal that needs to be figured out. (Don’t remember the exact term anymore.) Anyway, helped her fix it, and installed Debian Stable on it the next time I was visiting.
Yeah, to reiterate what @SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org said,
syncthingworks flawlessly on any Android devices I have used.Maybe there’s something you missed on your phone’s setup?
Primitive ftpd from fdroid is my go-to “too lazy to configure a cloud thing” solution. It is fast and just works.
The funniest solution I’ve found was a service that offered secure transfer of passwords between devices through their “encrypted transmission” with a password field on their website
FYI, don’t give any password to a service you aren’t using with that service
For ad hoc transfers, easiest way is to pack it with 7zip (or any other compression software with proper encryption) and setting a proper password for the file
In Debian KDE KDEConnect works well. Dont know about suse but can imagine it works there too
EDIT: grammar
Works well*.

Croc or syncthing depending on what kind of experience you are after. Syncthing if you want to have a shared folder like expert. And croc if you just need to send something. Croc has an app on f-droid, and syncthing is on the app store. Both are open source and pretty for excellent in their own right.
Onionshare or syncthing
My go to hack was quickly running a python http server and connect to it. I can’t remember what the command was exactly. Something like
python -m http.serveror so, then connect to the ip from my phone, heh.Install Termux and run
sshd -D -d -p <port>Use Localsend!
I use a mix of GSConnect/KDEConnect, Warpinator, and Syncthing. I’ve got a shared “dropoff” folder on Syncthing that lets me easily drop files from one device to another. You’re having issues with Warpinator but if you’re able to figure out the issue there, that’s my second go-to for one-time file transfers. KDEConnect is a bit more fiddly, but I use it mostly for sharing clipboard info and the occasional file when it’s stable enough.
