i want to send private documents and things to someone, whats the best app in your opinion. needs to work on linux and other things too
Resilio Sync is fully cross-platform P2P app for syncing files/folders: https://www.resilio.com/individuals/
I’ve been using it for years and love it.
Edit: Sorry, it’s not FOSS. My bad for not reading the question thoroughly.
Last i checked it also seems abandoned? The android app hasnt worked right for like 6 years and it never gets updates.
It all still works great for me across all my devices (Linux, Synology NAS, Mac, and iOS) plus it looks like their community forums are still active, and they have packages for Synology DSM 7, which is relatively new. The last iOS app update was 2022, but maybe that’s just a sign that it is stable and doesn’t need frequent updates?
I wonder if you were using their old software called BitTorrent Sync. At some point they did a rebranding, and it could have left you with an abandoned client that stopped working, maybe? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Bummer that it’s not working for you. It’s definitely one of my favorite apps.
rsync over ssh
Magic Wormhole is a popular tool:
Can be installed on Linux, Windows and MacOS. There’s an open source client on Android as well. If you don’t want the hassle of installation, there’s a website: wormhole.app. Claims E2EE and open source algorithm but the client itself is not open source.
The protocol is open, so there are apps that are cross-compatible.
for example
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pavelsof.wormhole
Windows: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9P564W951H6N
macOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/riftshare/id1602642908

if you’re sending less private stuff i recommend rakuten funded send anywhere
