Packet is the Linux App You Didn’t Know You Needed for Fast Android File Transfers

Packet is an open-source Linux application that enables fast, secure file transfers between Linux and Android devices using Google's Quick Share protocol. The app works over local Wi-Fi networks without requiring cloud services, supports Bluetooth device discovery, and can integrate with GNOME's Nautilus file manager. Users can transfer files in both directions by enabling Quick Share on Android and installing Packet via Flatpak on Linux, with the app providing system notifications and drag-and-drop functionality for ease of use.
