I just had to email me a file I got sent to my phone and I feel unable to accept this as the better solution.

What you do guys use for inter-device communication?

    There’s PairDrop, you can self host it but iirc it transfer via webrtc so as long as the devices ‘see’ one another there’s no mitm.

      This is based on Snapdrop. If the current developer hasn’t gone crazy with the fork, you can read the entire source code over a cup of coffee. The server used to just handle discovery/handshake of devices on the same network, with file transfer peer to peer using local addresses.

      Edit: Looks like they’ve added transfer over WAN not just local. Privacy discussion here.
