I'm looking for a software solution for sharing files on a local network.
I have at home several computers, some are running Windows 10, some others Linux. I have one computer in particular running Linux Debian where I wish I could receive any file (text, picture, or pdf) from any computer of my local network. For example, from my Windows PC, I wish to send a text file to that Linux machine, from another Linux computer I'd like to send a picture to this machine.
The problem is I'm looking for a solution with no or very little setup on the sender machines. No software installation or preconfiguration. I can't setup all my computers, furthermore I need a native solution because if someone comes home and want to share a file to the Linux machine, I want him to be able to. However on the receiver machine i don't care if there's a need for configuration.
I have a classical installation, what we would expect from a private, so a router on which are connected all my computers wirelessly or with an Ethernet cable.
I've heard of samba but I'm not sure if it's exactly what I'm looking for. Besides I've heard security concerns about it. I know Syncthing too, but that's not a good solution for me since it need a configuration beforehand.
Thanks for your help.
PS : Optionality , it would be great if it worked on Android cell phone too!

I see that you want a "software solution" however have you considered putting a (low cost) NAS on your local network's router? It can be a very rewarding raspberry-pi project or you can just buy one for approx $200. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-attached_storage

Unless you have Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise, the only way for Windows to access shares from Linux is via Samba, FTP, or HTTP. Rather than setting up a file server on each computer, you are better off buying a NAS and using that as a file server and connecting to it with each computer. It's far easier to manage one than several.

Does magic-wormhole come close enough to "no software installation"? It specifically does secure one-off direct file transfers between computers at any distance. If you really do mean "no software installation" I don't see how this can possibly be on-topic here (you would need to be on Web Applications, presumably).
