How are you sharing files between two party, with which system, app, site, etc.
I want to share some PDF with a friend but I’m becoming really tired of the old Google Drive. So any option is appreciated.
Also I’m finding myself always in the need to share a PDF or a file with an anonymous lemmy user if your option could work in this situation that will be great
If you’re looking for a privacy respecting paid service that’s not just a file locker for pirates I have two recommendations: At a previous workplace, we used LiquidFiles. More catered for commercial uses.
Personally I’ve been using Bitwarden Send. Requires a paid account ($10/year) and limited to 500MB files.
Honestly signal, I however don’t usually share anon outside of torrents
E2EE and simple
How do you find such services?
I stumbled upon it a few years back when I was looking for a way to send files directly to peers. I can’t remember if it was from a list of similar services or if I used a search engine. It’s been pretty useful for me.
For sharing with your friends you might look into Magic Wormhole. In my case I just put the file on a personal web site, usually.
some PDF with a friend
i would probably just email it
share a PDF or a file with an anonymous lemmy user
onionShare?
protonDrive :/
Not anonymous or free but bitwarden send is nice. Thundermail from Mozilla will have this feature too.

I’ve been using https://send.vis.ee/
Depends on the size. If it’s small enough I send via Signal. Larger files end up on my Nextcloud instance.
You can use https://www.swisstransfer.com/ from infomaniak, it’s privacy respecting, or https://lufi.ethibox.fr/
Self hosted Project Send: https://www.projectsend.org/ in a Docker environment.
Honestly, it depends. On the size of the file(s), type of files, etc. But usually either Signal or wormhole. If they’re standing next to me I’ve used Android Quick Share.
I usually use croc, though it requires the receiving party to be around to receive it immediately.
Signal or Proton Drive
SimpleX Chat can work with your friends. Don’t know for anonymous sharing, Internet Archive?
