A conversation started with:
“Is there an AirDrop for Windows?”
My answer was Tailscale, though that undersells it a bit.
What I like most is that it replaced several annoying parts of remote access for me:
• less messing with port forwarding
• less dealing with unreliable sync tools
• less thinking about network setup in general
Now I mostly just connect to the machine I need, by name, and keep moving.
I wrote up how I use it here:

@tayarndt I really like this! Normally, I just use Remote Support via NVDA. But that doesn't allow me to send files between machines, nor can I listen to sounds on the controlled computer. I wish I knew about this much sooner. It sounds like a great way to transfer files if there is something I don't have on my thumb drive or even if I don't want to go to the other part of the house to copy from it to my external drive.

@tayarndt It might be a good idea to mention that this requires Windows 10 or later. If each machine must have a copy of the program running rather than simply logging in via a website, this means that older machines can't use this software.
