Sad reality.

For non sensitive data, ufile.io is the most decent drop app I could find. Been around for a while and am surprised they haven't yet spoiled it with dark patterns, removal of free tier, sold out.

For sensitive data, Google drive. Share.

For very sensitive data, encrypt, ufile.io, or Google drive. decrypt on the other end. Quite a pipeline but note that it paradoxally doesn't require a self hosted drop app.

Ipfs? Still not nearly as simple as via google drive, needs native app app running. Drains phone batteries, requires manual encryption for anything sensitive as file access can't be gated.

Blockchain? Except for tiny blobs, impossible.

a p2p app that use some open KPI for encryption would be great.
