Someone should make a service like this except you actually upload the file directly to the other user rather than uploading it to a 3rd party (encrypted or not). Yes I get you would have to wait for the user on the other end to connect to you before the transfer starts but if you’re uploading 100+GB of data you’re going to be leaving that browser tab open for awhile anyways.
Doesn’t magic wormhole do that? I remember there used to be a few websites providing a web interface for it, but I can’t seem to find them anymore.
Yup there’s at least a few projects that can do in browser file transfer using WebRTC e.g.
https://sendfiles.dev/
https://sharedrop.io/
https://github.com/kern/filepizza
And of course https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole (they used to have a website too but maybe that went away?)
Yes, there are relays to connect the clients together and then the transfer is direct.
Several years ago when I was doing consulting I had lots of clients that blocked all the normal file sharing domains to prevent people from getting files into servers but magic wormhole always worked for me. I’d stash a wormhole-william (magic wormhole compatible Go application) executable in our installer deliverable and then I could update the software without IT’s help in the future (I often had RDP access). The headaches saved by cutting red tape were worth the risk for me.
Torrents?
