    • allows any two computers to transfer data (using a relay)
    • provides end-to-end encryption (using PAKE)
    • enables easy cross-platform transfers (Windows, Linux, Mac)
    • allows multiple file transfers
    • allows resuming transfers that are interrupted
    • local server or port-forwarding not needed
    • ipv6-first with ipv4 fallback
    • can use proxy, like tor

      Another thing like that I wish I’d discover sooner is syncthing - it’s really intuitive, just point it to a folder and it syncs stuff across your devices automatically. With it, a lot of cloud storage, backup and file transfer applications and features are completely redundant.

      EDIT: Ah, I did not scroll far enough to see that this recommendation is literally the next comment from this.
