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.
