Directly transfer your files, photos, video or any media to any PC or Linux wirelessly over the lan via iPhone's built-in Shortcuts application with Http Post request without any necessity of 3rd party drive/web/internet services. Also, two way Clipboard sync for text!

Important: Note that this is only for private Home or Personal network on Wireless LAN. Do not use in production or on shared or public networks, as data is transmitted via HTTP and not encrypted.
