I just had to email me a file I got sent to my phone and I feel unable to accept this as the better solution.

What you do guys use for inter-device communication?

For sending files between a phone and a PC, I use KDE Connect.

For sending files between PCs, I use SSH.

Both are really simple and lightweight tools that normally come preinstalled, and you can use them with no configuration.

    Adding to this, there's a gnome extension so you can use KDE connect without KDE DE.

    You can use KDE Connect itself without KDE.

    But GSConnect shows up in the equivalent of your task bar

    So does KDE Connect. It's a standalone program that happens to also be integrated into the KDE DE.

    No, not on GNOME Desktops, that's the reason you need to install GSConnect on GNOME. If you install just KDE Connect on a GNOME system, you will not have it integrated.
