$ tailscale file get [directory]

$ tailscale file get --wait=false .

tailscale file command [options]

tailscale file transfers files between devices on your Tailscale network using the Taildrop feature. Files are sent directly from one device to another over encrypted WireGuard connections, without passing through cloud storage or third-party servers.
The cp subcommand sends files to a target device, specified by its Tailscale hostname followed by a colon. The get subcommand receives pending files into a local directory. By default, the receiver waits for incoming transfers; the --wait=false flag lists pending files without blocking. Transfers work across platforms including Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android.
