obligatory shilling for LocalSend, it's airdrop except open-source and completely cross-platform!

Are there any alternatives that are decently fast for large files? My computer and my phone both get at least 300 mbps from the router, and I have yet to find a local file transfer application that will be anywhere near that fast for large files (destiny, local send, kde connect, might have tried others, I don't remember)

I have used Copyparty on my LAN (with nginx as a reverse proxy), and remember it being fast enough to saturate a gigabit connection. I would probably believe the numbers quoted here: https://github.com/9001/copyparty?tab=readme-ov-file#reverse-proxy-performance

Use it, love it, has a great http webserver fallback option too

Didn't know about the plain HTTP option! I'm using Sharik for this
