Comments on How to share files locally on Linux by using NitroShare

NitroShare is a cross-platform file transfer application that can help Linux users move files from one device to another as long as it is installed in all of them. While there are many ways to do this, and some are more secure than NitroShare, this one is one of the simplest and easiest to use for everyday common file sharing tasks. In the following quick guide, I will showcase how to transfer a sample file from an Ubuntu system onto an Arch system.

Thanks a lot for this.

I don't think "sudo apt-get update and then" is a command that will work :)

Excellent share! Thanks for that Bill :) I understand this is to share files between to computers. How about 2 accounts, in the same computer? (Ubuntu)

Thanks

Thanks for the information. Both my laptop running linux lite and my pc running windows 10 seem to be able to share files but my androind phone running android 10 seems to be out of the loop. I can send a file to both but cannot receive any neither system "sees the android operating system to send files

not sure what to do to fix this any ideas? I'm using linux lite 5.2 by the way
