On Linux: AirDrop

With a supported Wi-Fi card (MediaTek MT7925, Intel in exclusive mode), your Linux PC appears in the iPhone's AirDrop list. Tap Share → AirDrop → your PC. See AirDrop for Linux.

On Windows and Linux: LocalSend

Install the free LocalSend app on the iPhone. It finds MultiDrop on the PC automatically; pick the files and the PC.

PC → iPhone

Pick the iPhone in MultiDrop; LocalSend on the iPhone receives the files. The browser download needs no app, but Safari on many iPhones refuses it on a home network.

Questions

Is it private?

Yes. Transfers go directly over your network, encrypted where the protocol supports it; there is no server and no account.
