    It's consistent, doesn't need setting up after initial installation, works with multiple devices/people without faff, no limit on file size, completely inobtrusive, and simply does what it advertises, does it damn well, and doesn't have any other bloat or try to sell extra features. Oh , and it's completely free.

    Croc may be a good tool (which I haven’t tested yet), but it is command line only, while LocalSend has a graphical user interface.
