Syncthing, it lets you sync any folder between various other hosts. The setup is a bit of work, but has been running great for months now. Highly recommended!
Yes! Having everything on my phone available on my computer is a must have. Photos being instantly available saves so much time. Add a general sync folder and it is perfect.
Not a bad option, but I don't really trust them yet because of aggressive marketing. So far I'm watching the development. share your opinion, what do you like about Keet?
"Socket stores end-to-end encrypted files on its servers for a limited period of time." Also coming out with Wormhole Pro, so not any different than WeTransfer
How about LocalSend for sending files over the local network between your phone and PC? This option is more suitable for sending files over the local network, because in Keet it is a side function and not so conveniently implemented
I disagree, privacy wise it is not different compared to other not trusted services as Google or Dropbox. I found the easiest and less effort dragging or sending big files to Telegram to a user or a group/channel.
Well since no one has said it yet... You know torrents are a thing. They exist. They're real. People often use it to pirate movies, but nothing stopping you from using it for legalized purposes.
What if you give mankind, a unique data archiver that changes the essence of data transfer? How would that affect development in general? Let's say that you can compress 1 megabyte in 5 seconds to 25 kilobytes and transmit, the recipient can unzip in 10 seconds and get the exact file 100%. how would this affect the future?
QNAP with 2 disks in Raid 1. I had a 4 disks version before but I sell it for more sats :) For personal use 2 disks in raid 1 is enough. Yes, I always use a UPS.
I have it on my local network, not on the Internet.
Between phone and a computer KDE Connect is fantastic to move things back and forth.
And for any file on another PC, I just SFTP it. That's a centralized transfer because one computer is a server and the others are clients, but it's all my hardware, not "the cloud"
I don't have a need for anything fancier.
Ah, and if I have to send a file to someone outside, then I just upload it to one of my web servers and send the link.
This is for important stuff, for random things I use email, or whatever app they are using.
I used to run an SFTP server, but it was too DIY-ish for most of the people I was working with to figure out. (Pretty easy to set up though!)
So now Dropbox works well enough, or an app like 'SendAnywhere' for standalone, quick, uncompressed file transfers. Less sovereign, but for most purposes, it works well enough.
No one yet has mentioned www.WeTransfer.com. Best UX for something centralized. They get money from people like me who pay an annual fee to have my transfers branded with my company logo.
i just inscribe it into bitcoin and then sync a full node
bruh.
The very epitome of flawless backups and data accessible anywhere. Best way to store the very important collection of dickbutt pics.
genius
Not the best way
Its satire my guy lol
Okay. I almost believed it, because there are a lot of such "smart guys" nowadays)

How did I not know that Syncthing has an Android app? And available on F-Droid to boot!!!
Yes! Having everything on my phone available on my computer is a must have. Photos being instantly available saves so much time. Add a general sync folder and it is perfect.
What is the advantage of syncthing over scripting with rsync?
I agree) It is convenient to use it to synchronize the password database of KeePass
Keet

simplex chat
from phone to terminal, and back, easy
There are no problems with the transfer?
nope. works through vpns, vms, everything. supports large files and is super fast.
Got it, cool)
this is my favorite for sharing large files, it’s p2p too

This is amazing. Thanks for recommending.
Will check it out
"Socket stores end-to-end encrypted files on its servers for a limited period of time." Also coming out with Wormhole Pro, so not any different than WeTransfer
it is worth taking a look at:
Nextcloud, hosted on my LAN. If you know how to run your own node, you can probably figure out how to self-host all sorts of stuff.
Proton Drive is super good. Centralized, but nonetheless very private and secure.
For p2p on LAN I like to use SyncThing.
Proton is limited by small storage and file size, especially if there is no subscription
I'm old school... I still use a usb flash drive to transfer files between computers.
I use Keet to send stuff between phone and computer.
How about LocalSend for sending files over the local network between your phone and PC? This option is more suitable for sending files over the local network, because in Keet it is a side function and not so conveniently implemented
I have not tried LocalSend before. Looked it up and it seems pretty good. Will give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation.
Some I frequently use:
Telegram is not a good solution

Yes, but it is not as convenient as regular file transfers. With torrents you already need a minimum skill and experience with it
Easier than uploading an inscription XD
I agree with that)

What kind of NAS are you using? What is the storage capacity? Do you use an uninterruptible power supply?
QNAP with 2 disks in Raid 1. I had a 4 disks version before but I sell it for more sats :)

Yes, I always use a UPS.
Got it, thanks for the answer.
scp for most everything I control.
I just read Lopp's article (from 2020), ... might give one or two of them a try.
How to Securely Back Up Data to Cloud Storage
https://blog.lopp.net/how-to-securely-back-up-data-to-cloud-storage
The article is useful, but it is more about how to encrypt data in the cloud, not about transferring files to other users. But it is good information
Strictly QR codes.
Can you be a little more specific?
This thread is super useful. Been interested in finding an alternative to centralized services...
Of course I have to use the typical cloud services when others in my life require but I really try to stick to these two.
Thank you for suggesting Syncthing. Didn't know about it and it looks fantastic.
Usb in a secluded alley behind dumpsters. The most secure:)
If you're paranoid, yeah)
:) and 99% of people on SN are hehe
for this reason 99% do not know how to store information, money, data, memory.
Nextcloud on self hosted node 😎
Yes!
I've been experimenting with Synology Sync – it works very well so far!
Personal data?
I have it on my local network, not on the Internet.
Between phone and a computer KDE Connect is fantastic to move things back and forth.
And for any file on another PC, I just SFTP it. That's a centralized transfer because one computer is a server and the others are clients, but it's all my hardware, not "the cloud"

Interesting, thanks for the detailed comment
Im looking for private alternatives to Google Photos. Anyone got some tips?
I wonder this as well!
ssh, scp, rsync, proton drive...
Any idea how to do it on ios?
sd card on a carrier pigeon the latency is aweful but the throughput is great
Do you need a lot of pigeons for this method?)

The privacy situation is very bad. As far as I know, the files are not end-to-end encrypted and a lot of analytics are collected.
Yes
