Airdroid? Provides a WebUI to browse your phone, send and receive files, and e. g. write SMS if you’re into that.
FTP Server option of Solid Explorer. Works great on Home Network

idk what beaming is but I made https://dro.pm/ for sending files between any OS combination
Supports command line also in case you’d like to beam from there as well (of course wget to download, but if you curl|head the domain you also get instructions for uploading)

if you have the app/feature on both devices, QuickShare.
on Linux, there’s RQuickShare, which lets you use QuickShare on Linux
I use FX on Android to connect to my shared drives on windows and my file server, and Nextcloud for syncing stuff. Looking to replace Nextcloud though because it’s a little heavy for just that function and is kind of janky sometimes due to permissions issues on Android when trying to access the files with other apps.
Another one for KDE Connect. https://kdeconnect.kde.org/download.html It works on everything. Linux, Android, Windows, macOS, iOS, SailfishOS(?). I use to to share files from phone to my laptop, laptop to Steam Deck.

It’s an app for your phone and another app for your computer. Works good. It’s how I do it. Uses wifi I think
I used airdroid in the past. It can also mirror your PC onto your phone and vice versa.
I don’t know how it is these days, mustve been ten years ago that I used it.
Airdroid was aweaome. But they went and enshitified the thing.
KDE Connect has an app for Gnome too (GS Connect) so lots of flavours of Linux can join in. Brilliant way to sync your phone to your PC in every way.
Localsend has been really well considered. Only wish is that it recognized links and opened them in a browser automatically
If your PC has bluetooth: The default file share that comes up when you hit the share button can use bluetooth. Just set the PC to receive a file.
How are the speeds compared to wifi?
Profoundly, hilariously slow.
bluetooth would obv. be slower, but it’s fine for small files imo. you definately start to feel the slowness on large files or a large amount of files (each one is its own transfer, and from experience, I feel that it would have gone faster on WiFi.)
KDE connect works great with Linux. You can easily put stuff on and get stuff off your phone.
Sending files over bluetooth
