Unfortunately all of these have some kind of drawback but in most cases any one of them should work.
- send-anywhere.com. This one is super easy and always works, you can even send over different networks. But there are ads and I don't 100% trust if the company has access to the data you send. I recommend this one if you have uBlock and don't care.
- webwormhole.io. Drawback: doesn't always work. Out of the other non-working tools this one is most reliable but still, sometimes it just doesn't work (maybe LAN issue?)
- snapdrop.net. Drawback: doesn't always work.
- KDE Connect. Drawback: doesn't always work, for example between mac and debian.
- USB stick. Best one by far if you actually have it, doesn't even need wifi. But of course you can't transfer between mobile. Also: your USB must be formatted to FAT32 or some OSs won't support it.
