Someone should make a service like this except you actually upload the file directly to the other user rather than uploading it to a 3rd party (encrypted or not). Yes I get you would have to wait for the user on the other end to connect to you before the transfer starts but if you’re uploading 100+GB of data you’re going to be leaving that browser tab open for awhile anyways.
Doesn’t magic wormhole do that? I remember there used to be a few websites providing a web interface for it, but I can’t seem to find them anymore.
Yup there’s at least a few projects that can do in browser file transfer using WebRTC e.g.
https://github.com/kern/filepizza
And of course https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole (they used to have a website too but maybe that went away?)
This is exactly what I was talking about, thanks!
Yes, there are relays to connect the clients together and then the transfer is direct.
Several years ago when I was doing consulting I had lots of clients that blocked all the normal file sharing domains to prevent people from getting files into servers but magic wormhole always worked for me. I’d stash a wormhole-william (magic wormhole compatible Go application) executable in our installer deliverable and then I could update the software without IT’s help in the future (I often had RDP access). The headaches saved by cutting red tape were worth the risk for me.
Torrents?
Something like this that encrypted and uploaded to IPFS would be neat.
Cool. I’ve been using croc lately to move files around, but this differs in that they are supplying temporary off-site storage so that the host doesn’t have to remain online.
Yes, Croc is AFAIK the best alternative, no man in the middle, but if you can’t be online for the downloads, the best is Sharrr, anyway lightyears better than Dropbox or similar big company crap.
