For files that are not private I use: https://btorrent.xyz/

People usually recommend https://file.pizza but it just doesn't work for me.

Now that I think about this it would be beautiful if there was something like stunnel but for NAT hole punching and what not. You would do:

  $ send-file FILE
  qk11c14pmq7maeod
  $
You would send the unique id (that could be also something that gives a QR code to scan or something like random words) over a separate channel. Then you would "receive-file qk11c14pmq7maeod" on the other end. It would be a simple binary that would be easy to embed and call through some pretty UI. Probably generation and scanning of those possible QR codes would have to be a part of the package. The problem would be who would finance servers needed for NAT traversal?



You're looking for croc or magic-wormhole.
