Do you want an alternative to airdrop? You can go two ways KDEConnect, which I covered already and am running
You can also go to localsend!
It works on all platforms Linux Android Apple win64

I should note that you can not make the mistake of comparing KDEconnect extended capabilities with those of localsend.
They operate on totally different realms.
KDEconnect has a set of plugins which work like functional libraries. There so many that I will have to include a screenshot, just to give you a sample of what KDEconnect can actually do.
Local follows The Unix Principle; it does One thing in a does it very well.
In case you've gotten curious; you can install KDEconnect with its accompanying libraries on another working environment apart from KDE. You do not need to run a full KDE Desktop Environment.
Over here I run KDEconnect on machines which have Xfce4 running, while it's counterpart runs on a couple of Androids.
KDEconnect also runs on Ancient Android Operating Systems
The programming team of KDE does not care where you run it's wonderful software as long as you can enjoy it.
The same goes for The GNOME programming team. I run Cairo Dock ** and GPartED also on Xfce4. In fact I run many Gnome libraries in Xfce4 to have crucial functionality in many parts of the Xfce4 Desktop Environment. Without those wonderful libraries I would run a crippled version of Xfce4.
I have include screenshots from one of my energy efficient desktop computers where I will show you that I run GNOME software and KDE software in Xfce4 DE
I've just finished configuring the weather applet in Cairo Dock which gets its feed from OpenMeteo (not visible in screencap01)
**Update: Cairo Dock is programmed by it's own dedicated team. They have been doing the awesome work since 2007
In screencap 01 you see
* KDEConnect to the left
* Thunar from XFce4 to the right with important GNOME libs giving it extra functionalities
*Cairo Dock from GNOME at the bottom with advanced launch capabilities

Thank you for your reaction.
Your statement
'never used localsend but hate it'
fascinates me. Can you elaborate on how your process of thought flows when you say that?
I cannot hate something I don't know, I don't test, I don't try out, and I do not even hate things or people, because it is positive energy, that I flipped around to negative energy, which benefits no one; not even me
