I forgot about LocalSend, it seems now to be a very supported project! Do you know what are the technical differences, compared to Magic Wormhole?

I actually don't. And I probably should, but I usually use a USB drive for things I don't want going over a network or for 'cold' backups of security-critical data.

Oh I just read that actually LocalSend is local only (genius me), so use cases are different.

Yeah has to be on the same network or some near protocol like Bluetooth (maybe?).

Syncthing can go over WAN I believe, but I configure it to be local network only.

Syncthing is also a little more involved it seems. More like local, distributed cloud storage in my experience. Kind of slow for a file transfer use case too.
