Share

Share is a bidirectional file sharing application that works both ways — send files to others or receive files from them. It offers both a graphical interface (GTK) and a terminal-based CLI mode.

Features:

Bidirectional file transfer - both send and receive files

No additional software required - just a QR code scanner and web browser

Receive Mode - let others upload files directly to your device

Directory uploads - upload/download entire folder structures

Multiple file uploads - batch upload many files at once

Share data from the clipboard, automatically detect if the clipboard contains an image, or a text, note that pasting files will only send paths as text (if the app doesn't have read permission), so its better to drop them instead

CLI mode — run entirely from the terminal without a graphical interface, useful over SSH or on headless systems

How it works:

Creates a temporary HTTP server on your local network

Generates QR codes for both sharing and receiving

Sharing Mode: Others scan to download your files

Receive Mode: Others scan to upload files to you via web interface

All transfers happen locally over your network - no internet required

Perfect for quick file transfers between devices, mobile-to-desktop uploads, collaborative work, or any situation where you need wireless file transfer without cloud services.
