Thank you for this. I just bookmarked it. When Send shut down I've constantly been searching for a better transfer program that doesn't require any client-side setup besides a link.

I've been using https://sendight.ml/ recently, but occasionally get corrupted files for reasons unbeknownst to me, but beyond that it's the best one I've found so far, no connection to them, just found it on a reddit thread.

Oh wow! I didn't know this reply got so much like, thank you! Sendlight.ml looks awesome and on that note, to make things easy to share between devices, i made a simple "tunnel" mode as well, you can try it here: https://www.relaysecret.com/tunnel

The way it works is super simple: the anchortag is base on the tunnel name (first round of sha256 if my memory serves me well) and the actual "tunnel id" is a few first characters of the second round of sha256. This way by enter the same "tunnel" both devices can share file without the need to share long complicated urls. The files in tunnel only lives up to a day.

Unlike sendlight though, it is not peer2peer webrtc and it is using the same lambda backend to create signed urls for s3 and encryption done in browser like before, just a neat little trick to have a simple way to setup "room" between devices ;)

I'm have been hosting Send for a long while at send.vis.ee. You might find it useful!
