Open a session on one device, upload on the other

If i'm not mistaken, currently you can only open a session on the device that uploads a file. But I often want to send files from my mobile device to a laptop, and scanning the QR code from the mobile device screen is a hassle with the laptop (e.g. on most Linux machines the webcam doesn't turn the QR into a clickable link by default).

You can type out the 4 random words in the URL (much easier than a randomly generated ID 👍 ) as alternative to QR code scanning, but it would be even better if I could start a session on the laptop without any uploads, then join on the mobile device by scanning the QR code, and then uploading files on the mobile device.

@philippgille I introduced a sharedSlug concept where you can specify the shared room's name during upload and multiple uploaders can share their connections. When uploading, you can choose a password and/or the shared link as well. Check it out:
