Magic Wormhole is a popular tool:
https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole
is that just on linux or also windows, apple, android
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.
is installation simple on all os?
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
There’s also Web Wormhole which is the same concept but in the browser (using Web RTC): https://webwormhole.io/
You need both ends to be online at the same time so it doesn’t work for the “email a link to a large file” use case but it’s fantastic for “I’m in a Teams/Discord/Zoom call with you and I want to send you this data”.
