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?

I have sftp setup on my 2 main PCs and a client on my phone (it's not a server). For the rest of the family who have dual Mint/Windows boots I also have warpinator installed on mine and theirs - it's point to point for the enrolled devices but is currently only setup to work within the LAN.

https://warpinator.net/

Primary filesharing is simply the NAS which is visible to all devices on the LAN (can be made available externally but I haven't). This is a recent addition and no one uses warpinator any more.

Edit to clarify I don't have sftp server on phone

Might want to boot up warpinator myself, but from their website:

#Winpinator for Windows PC

For Windows users, this software is readily available for the Windows platform, allowing easy installation of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. It facilitates seamless file and folder sharing between Microsoft Windows and Linux via LAN.

It seems like there might be a slight error in your question. It’s possible that you’re referring to “WinZip” instead of “Winpinator.” WinZip is a popular file compression and archive utility for Windows. If you’re looking for information on WinZip, you can visit the official WinZip website to download and learn more about the application: WinZip Official Website.

It looks like some FAQ answer has leaked into their main website. At a quick dig it seems that Winpinator is the original name for the windows port of warpinator
