Description

well... this issue is a mixture of a correction and a kind of suggestion:
how about differnciating between file-sharing tools using 3rd-party services resp. servers and them who are not.

Why I am making the suggestion

it makes a big difference if a 3rd party is involved and stores the data on its servers or not... similar to messengers which are centralized, federated or p2p.

IMHO tools like Snapdrop (LAN-sharing with notifications) or ShareDrop (possibility to share files between different networks) are at leasst "worth mentioning" because i know a bunch of people who won't setup neither wormhole nor OnionShare because of convenience and so still use unencrypted mails or other "curious" services for quick file-sharing.
i know, metadata are leaked, but IMHO it is still better than handing over the files itself to a 3rd party.

My connection with the software

none... i'm just a FOSS- and privacy-enthusiast.

• I will keep the issue up-to-date if something I have said changes or I remember a connection with the software.

btw

what is FreedomBox doing at this site? on the one hand with FreedomBox itself you can't share any file, but on the other hand it's much more than file-sharing and thus would fit anywhere.

what about a general self-hosting site and then also add things like YunoHost, Sandstorm and DPPM?
