Would like to give a shout out to LANDrop (not affiliated) if the users are on the local network. I use it. It's very good at saturating the link bandwidth and traffic is guaranteed not to exit the firewall.

Looks like it is not. Maybe someone wants to maintain a fork.

trying to organize study material on ipad
1 project | /r/applehelp | 19 May 2023

iCloud Drives doesn’t break your file structure, you just drop the whole folders to the iCloud Drives, let it sync, and move them out of iCloud Drive to the internal storage on your iPad. Alternatively there’s plenty of other apps that can do local transfer, like https://landrop.app/. Use another cloud drive service like google drives. Or setup file server on your Mac with SMB and connect it on your iPad: https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/mac-help/mh17131/10.13/mac/10.13

KDE Connect / Air drop equivalent for Elementary OS 6.1

I've looked... but its seems there isn't an application based solution without requiring app indicator support which is something that eOS doesn't officially have. If you're comfortable modding eOS to have app indicator support you can then use LanDrop or use KDE Connect with an app indicator. You can also use sharedrop.io or snapdrop.net.
