Sad not to see file.pizza

Me and a buddy just set up syncthing and use that when we need to do this and don't want in third parties involved. Turn it off when you are done.
I use resilio sync across my work and personal phones and I use it to backup my phones to my nas. No need to turn it on/off, it's accessible only via secret key or shared link and it's encrypted.
I know sync isn't foss but it's the best one I've found over the years and it just works.
Love resilio. Fantastic for travelling to quickly pull up your passport or visa or train tickets you reserved before. Just leave a computer running at home (like a home server).
What's the advantage over syncthing?
I believe Syncthing isn't on iOS.
It's a bit more consumer focused, easier for Grandma kind of thing. Syncthing isn't hard, but does have in my opinion a bit more difficult of an initial setup with features like introducers that can make things difficult if configured wrong.
No love for SwissTransfer from Infomaniak. Shame.
I do:
- Wormhole.app: for smaller file transfers to people not tech savvy
- Rsync: if the person is running an SSH server I can connect to
- Bittorrent: pretty much anything else
There's croc which looks very similar to magic-wormhole. Haven't used magic-wormhole so can't compare the two though.
I'm surprised Magic Wormhole wasn't on here. There's a gnome app for it called Warp and several android apps, all FOSS.
I never see toffeeshare mentioned. P2P, encrypted, no size limit. Only problem is you can't send folders, only files, but that's easily solved with tarballs or RARs.
Anyone have any objections or anything negative to say about snapdrop(dot)net besides maybe anyone on the same network could try to connect to you?
If your swiss, just use swisstransfer.com. it's fast, supports up to 50gb of data, 500 transfers per day (and free!), more than you'll ever need. Although for security, they do say your filles are sent over https, but because they do not promote encryption I suppose they don't support that (although they do support password protected files).
So yeah, it's usually more than enough for most use cases, although I'd encrypt my files before sending them if they contain sensitive data, but that's rarely the case.
Why isn't syncthing there? Is there something bad with it I'm not aware of amor are they just not aware of it?
scp cli app
Interesting to see wormhole mentioned as non open source. The protocol and its CLI tools are, probably the web interface and GUIs are not
Based on this reddit comment, that website is not affiliated with the magic-wormhole CLI tool
@petsoi
none of the four
I only use:
https://drive.proton.me/
easy, secured, no need to have a proton account for others, links can be time limited

Soulseek never stopped working.
Secure though? Is it end-to-end encrypted?
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha... no.
but it does allow you to only share your files with a specific other user.
however, it's explicitly not secure. It's literally from the Kazaa era of file transfer apps.
