I wrote my own. I aimed for a different UX than most services. For my use case I have a few devices that I often share files between. So opening the tool on both devices was a bit annoying. Instead you select the file on the first device and you get a push notification on the other. Then the transfer is done over WebRTC (locally if possible). All communication is done end-to-end encrypted and over your browser's push service.
@7_Stipend_Jackal Not really sure what you mean by "like Localshare". Is that a specific piece of software, or do you just mean sharing files between two devices on a local network via whatever protocol?
I've played around with croc a while back just to test, seems okay.
Depends on where you want to transfer your files. Do you want to sync your files to a server? Syncthing is perfect for that. SFTP and SCP also work well enough for that. Do you need to send a file to somebody else? Check out croc or portal.
"File Browser" or "Sharry" allow you to make public links to share files with others BUT you need to run them on a server that is accessible to both parties.
The easiest thing would be to mount a remote network storage as a local directory. This way you can easily access it to read and write through normal software.
Syncthing
OnionShare
Syncthing?
pairdrop.net maybe?
It's mainly for local network, but you can do internet transfers.

I use this all the time, also nice for text share.
OnionShare is FOSS and transfers files over TOR network.

Wormhole
If you're on linux just use scp
why not something as basic as sftp?
One of the GUI versions of Magic Wormhole is the best and easiest way. Here’s my favorite https://rymdport.github.io/

This is all i see
I thought Apple implemented push notifications? Or did they just say they would? Either way you can file the bug with them I think.
Or wait until they allow you to install a browser that isn't dragging it's feet.
Yeah let me just file a bug report to apple for your app to even display. Ill get right on that
FileZilla.
FTP
In order of personal preference:
scp (sftp)
rsync/openrsync
nfs
host files on an ftp server with ftpd
hosting files on an http server with httpd
Croc, although it's command-line only.
Syncthing is also great but may not be what you're looking for.
Syncthing is pretty good.

It uses webrtc for P2P connections.

maybe 0up.io?
Oh, over the Internet, not just the local network ... then maybe Lufi?
for example this instance: https://upload.disroot.org/
Works well, but not particularly fast with large amounts of data (up to 2GB possible)

KDE-Connect? https://kdeconnect.kde.org/
It works very well for the data exchange between Linux, Android, iOS and Microsoft devices. https://apps.kde.org/kdeconnect/
Of course, it can do a lot more, it's a bit oversized for just data exchange
Not for over-the-internet use
Yes, sorry, I had overlooked that. That's why I recommended Lufi afterwards.
