I found the easiest way to send files between my Android phone and desktop - and it's free

Localsend lets you share and receive files, and it works with Linux, MacOS, and Windows.

Often, I need to transfer files between Android and my two desktop operating systems, but finding the easiest method of doing so has been a bit of a chore. If your phone/tablet and desktop/laptop are on the same network, Localsend automatically finds each instance of the app, so you don't have to manually add them. This process is the same regardless of what desktop OS you are using, which makes Localsend one of the best options, especially for those who use multiple operating systems.
