sending files locally - 03-05-20
For a long time I used pushbullet to quickly send pictures to my android phone from my mac.
Ex: Took cool terminal screen shot and want to post it to my Instagram story via my phone.
Problem: The pushbullet firefox extention on mac has a dialog bug prefenting file upload.
Solution:
-
Connect phone and mac to same WIFI network
-
Start local seb server, hosting the screen_shots folder
$ npx http-server ./screen_shots
-
Send the local ip url to phone via pushbullet
-
Profit

accessing files on the phone
