Sharing files thru SimpleX? (across the internet)
Sharing files thru SimpleX? (across the internet)
Is it a good idea to share files between two Android phones anonymously thru the SimpleX Chat transfer protocol? Or are there easier/better ways?

Phones aren't in the same local network

If the file doesn't exceed 2 GB, you can use this : https://lufi.ethibox.fr/ Files are encrypted and cannot be seen by the owner of the website and the share can only go up to 30 days. It is recommended by Framasoft, the ones behind peertube.

Interesting alternative, thanks. SimpleX is the only one as far as I know, allowing chronology since it has a chat and all, you can probably use also matrix protocol the same way but it require an account.

Have you tried syncthing-fork? You can synchronize folders across the internet with it between all sorts of devices, including android. No middlemen required since it's peer to peer.

Magic wormhole? Never used it myself personally.

If you have them as a contact already in SimpleX, then why not.

I also considered wormhole protocol but clients are very minimal, you don't have chronology and you can't access your old uploaded files like in SimpleX.

Why go through someone's service when you could go direct?

Isn't this just to share stuff in your local network between your os and phone?
Its file sharing feature works between any supported devices, including phone-to-phone, and yes, it is intended for connections across a local network.
