I find myself often having to transfer a random files from another person’s device to mine. Existing file sharing solutions aren’t exactly ideal because they either require me to remember a very long URL (file shares), or requiring me to log in on others’ device (cloud). I’m wondering if there’s a program where anyone can upload files, but can only be viewed and downloaded from the server by authenticated users. I understand it’s not wise to accept files from unauthenticated users, but it would be so damn convenient. If there isn’t one, I suppose that would be my next project.
I am a teaching assistant, and occasionally people ask me why their code isn’t working. I take it to my device so they can continue their work whilst I figure out the issue. I want to minimise the uploading complexity, and the time it takes to upload one.
If it’s code, would a private pastebin work for you?
Is a server a requirement? I haven’t tried myself but localsend (p2p) comes to mind.
It would be desirable, as I don’t have to be prepared whenever someone starts sending a file, but I suppose I can live without it. Thank you for the suggestion!
If you’re on the same network, take a look at snapdrop. It’s basically cross platform AirDrop.
Looks like the project is dead…
I’m sure there’s a decent fork. Read the code; there’s not much to it!
