@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

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?

I think because Syncthing isn't really for "sharing" files. It can move large files across the internet but it's not designed for "hey send me a copy of that blu-ray your ripped" sharing.

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.

Soulseek never stopped working.

refalo ,

Secure though? Is it end-to-end encrypted?

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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.

refalo ,

Right, but the article explicitly mentions securely, so I thought those types of tools would be more relevant to recommend.

monoboy ,

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

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?

@kib48@lemdro.id avatar

snapdrop.net seems to go down all the time, I stopped using it a while ago and switched to LocalSend

neither of them work over the internet though so they don't really fit the article

Excigma ,

PairDrop(dot)net is a fork with a bit more features

There's croc which looks very similar to magic-wormhole. Haven't used magic-wormhole so can't compare the two though.

@Smoke@frogdrool.net avatar

@pro3757 @petsoi can confirm, croc is awesome.

you can even use your own infrastructure as the midpoint.

als ,

I'm surprised Magic Wormhole wasn't on here. There's a gnome app for it called Warp and several android apps, all FOSS.

scp cli app

little_tuptup ,

Does scp resume broken transfers? If not, maybe rsync instead. Lots can go wrong for connectivity over the span of hours/days

bruhduh ,
@bruhduh@lemmy.world avatar

You're right

cymor ,

BitTorrent

Rivalarrival ,

VPN server and any NAS or other network file share.

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.

rdyoung ,

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?

MangoPenguin ,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Iirc if you pay for it the main thing is selective sync

I believe Syncthing isn't on iOS.

milicent_bystandr ,

Mobius Sync is an iOS app for it. Free version has max directory size 25mb(?) but dev seems to have good attitudes; it's something I wouldn't mind paying for.

ggppjj ,

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.

delirious_owl ,
@delirious_owl@discuss.online avatar

Yeah why wasn't syncthing on the list?
