I agree on Syncthing’s UI, and it did take me some time to understand it and get it working right. But I could only get LocalSend to accept files on my Pixel from my PC when I had the app open. Even with quick save turned on, it wouldn’t accept the file without having the app open. But maybe that’s the point of LocalSend? More deliberate file sharing?
Any reason to use LocalSend over Syncthing?
They have different usage scenarios.
LocalSend is for the occasional sending of files/folders from A to B or B to A (One direction only).
Syncthing’s primary usage is for keeping the exact same copies of files on A and B automatically.
Also has the huge advantage for me that it actually works. I could never get Syncthing to work no matter how much I tweaked it. This worked instantly.
And the interface is not a mess too.
