LocalSend looks to be a great way to send/receive files on a LAN and could be very helpful for people that want that functionality for a Steam Deck or HTPC.
I don’t know if this is the best place to suggest such a changed, so let me know if I need to make a github issue or post in another spot.
Here is some information about LocalSend.
Main site: https://localsend.org/
Github repo: GitHub - localsend/localsend: An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop
Flathub link: Install LocalSend on Linux | Flathub
Flathub install command: flatpak install flathub org.localsend.localsend_app
Flatpak file line: app/org.localsend.localsend_app/x86_64/stable

Possibly something to keep in mind for the Bazzite Portal. Although, currently that is getting a re-write, so nothing will be added to it until after it is completed. For a pre-installed application, we will pass on this because our ISOs are already sitting over 7GB+ since Flatpaks are bundled in the ISOs.

Wow this is a cool app. When I was trying to help someone transfer files from their Windows pc to a steam deck we were looking at enabling the ssh server in Bazzite and then transferring the files via WinScp. This is much simpler and it looks like it runs on everything.
I was thinking of the Bazzite Portal for the suggestion. Thank you for the reply.
