Hello.
I’m looking for a solution to send text from my PC to my phone, but also the other way around. Big plus if I can send files too in both ways. I already use pairdrop which is nice (while not 100% reliable from my experience) for files, and ntfy is good to send a notification (so basically text) to my phone but the android app won’t let me send from my phone to my pc.
I used to use airdroid a while back, but I don’t want to use proprietary software if I can.
Any idea ?
Solution: snapdrop or pairdrop. For text, right click on PC, long press on phone.
It really doesn’t work well for me. I can’t get the clipboard feature to work no matter what I do. And I can see all my SMS messages there, but when I send one, it never sends and there’s no error message.
It works for notifications, which is one of the most important features for me, but idk. I feel like there’s gotta be something better. Something where half the features aren’t broken.
I used it many years ago with a different phone and laptop and had kind of a similar experience. Sometimes it would update and a feature would be broken for 6 months, then it would update again and it would start working. But at least SMS worked, which is probably my second most important feature.
That’s strange, I can’t say I’ve experienced any of that over the past few years I’ve been using it. I have seen small differences in how windows and Linux handle the connection, but I think that has more to do with my Linux network settings than the app.
