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!

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.

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

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?

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"
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.
