I'm using nitroshare for many years tto transfer files and directories directly between our computers on the same wifi and it was working perfectly, just drag and drop chose the computer in the list and ➤ done but I recently upgraded my kids computer to MX 21.1 and nitroshare seems to not detect the other computer on the same wifi, as well as not maintained any more (although if it works i'm ok with that, but it does not work)...
Do you know an alternative?

They possibly plugged a few security holes. I can't imagine such software working without being a security nightmare?
Maybe it's time to invest in a family NAS (or figure out how to use the disk in your ISP box).

Yeah... that was my though as well (patching some holes), I don't really need a centralized drive. It's just for home my kids PCs, mine and 1 laptop, it's to transfer libreoffice docs, video, pictures for my kids online school to one PC to another one, and other things in the same range,
If possible I would like it to be as easy as drag n drop, a bit like air drop on mac (when we switched to linux I was so happy to have found nitroshare as it fill and feels like airdrop  )
About your comment " figure out how to use the disk in your ISP box", can you expend it? I don't understand(I can be very slow some time) I don't have disk in my wifi box (or sure I did not understood it at all)
In all case thanks a lot Ofnut for your input.

Around here the modems/routers from the ISPs are designed for "triple play" (Internet, Telephone and TV) and feature some mass storage (TV recorder) that can be used for other purposes. Mine can even work as a torrent client...

I see, no, not here in the Philippines, no HDD, just plain cheap plastic box weighing less than a gram.

I have no use for it and so haven't tried it but Linux Mint recently introduced Warpinator (pre-installed on Linux Mint 20).
It looks as though you have to build it yourself if you are using Ubuntu 20.4 and later but the instructions look simple enough - for example:

Thanks for your input, I'm going to take a look at it.
