Sad not to see file.pizza
Didn’t know about that one. Why, there’s no objection in adding more to the collection right here. 😊
I’m definitely here for more alternatives as well (and because I haven’t yet figured out how to save a post without commenting)
Depends on the client. Configuration for it in Eternity is in the settings
I miss some parts of Kbin, but I’m very glad to have a perfectly functional save feature in Photon…
(And that the threads actually load.)
I can’t find anything on that site that talks about how it works. That’s disappointing.
“Fork Us” button goes right to the github repo.
Ah yes, that’s exactly the kind of information they should have on their main site.
There is just a huge number of softwares for this task.
Don’t be so sad, the list is shit.
I like drop.lol
Yea I have my own list with over a hundred of these sites.
As someone wanting to share large files, what is your suggestion?
I think they were trying to say they suggest drop.lol
As @[email protected] already said, I’d recommend drop.lol (can be selfhosted). Filetransfers are direct between peers (unless you’re behind some hardcore NAS where UDP hole-punching via STUN is not possible).
I mean how I transfer a file depends on the situation. If it’s to someone on XMPP I’d just establish a direct transfer there. Sometimes I share a directory over HTTP, FTP, SFTP and so on. The easiest way for most people, because it only requires a WebRTC capable browser, is with one of the many peer to peer filesharing platforms like drop.lol.
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
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.
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.
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.
BitTorrent
Interesting to see wormhole mentioned as non open source. The protocol and its CLI tools are, probably the web interface and GUIs are not
@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
#protondrive #proton #teamProtonWhy 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.
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.
