Any foss file sharing app that supports file upload by another person who does not have the app? (Through local network) (lemmy.sdf.org)

I find it useful when I have to ask for files from another person without having to ask them to install the app.

Trebleshot has this option(screenshot attached) and I'm currently using it. But it's source seems to archived, so looking for an alternative if it exists.

Is android nearby share enough for this? Generally, I think that foss apps give me faster transfer speeds overy nearby share. Or is it just placebo?

curl --upload-file thefile.tgz https://transfer.sh/somename

Then paste the resulting URL to the person who wants the file. Another useful app is the magic wormhole and I think there are some web front-ends for it.
