Tailscale recently added local file transfers called Taildrop https://tailscale.com/kb/1106/taildrop This really solved this issue for me, right click a file and select the receiving peer and it just appears instantly on the other device.

What I really miss here is taildrop between different users. What if I want to send a file to a coworker?

I would assume that limitation is because it's on the roadmap, but they want a different UI for it, or more control, or to see how beta goes with just your own devices, give some time to think about how it should work, etc.

Because they've had to specifically put that limitation in place, no way they don't realise it could be useful.

In tailscale you also can expose a server to the internet with Funnel https://tailscale.com/kb/1223/funnel

I created an automated installer to provide this functionality on KDE Plasma using Dolphin this morning to emulate the experience of sharing via TailDrop on Mac for Linux.
