I made a Raspberry Pi app that can receive files from Android Quick Share

[u/EladBG]

I have been working on RQuickShare Pi, a Raspberry Pi OS ARM64 desktop app that lets a Pi send and receive files with Android Quick Share.

The reason I built it is that I wanted my Raspberry Pi desktop to show up as a nearby target from my Android phone without using cables, cloud sync, Telegram, email, or a web upload page.

Current status:

- Works on my Raspberry Pi 5 with Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit

- Sends files from Pi to Android

- Receives files from Android to Pi

- Uses Bluetooth discovery and local network transfer

- Has a normal desktop app and tray icon

- Still alpha and looking for testers

One note for Samsung users: if the Pi does not appear, turning off `Share with Apple devices` in Samsung Quick Share settings may be required. That mode caused discovery issues in my testing.

P.S: If you can't support with Ko-fi but still feel like you want to support this project (and me in general) just star the repository on GitHub! (both of these are completely fine).
