How to send 90Gb of information between users?

tox can be a thing, previously i factored it out for whatever reason (i guess i saw it as abandonware, but maybe that was something else, or i wanted a pq solution), recently i opened a bunch of tabs for it, but im not yet at a conclusion… that filesender stuff can be utilized too, the more is the better (if their weaknesses are known/solved/acceptable), but i see it also as inferior, relays just fix the internet, those are the future, even if their operator costs will land somewhere, but that holds for the tons of free online ai tools available all around today, but they are there…

the other day i experimented with ipfs, it was so awesome to see my swag on a http gateway after a few new and simple lines in my terminal… (the rest is somewhat off topic) im about seeking means for publishing without the need for installing swag by AverageJoe123 to differentiate my stuff from cave paintings, but i think the updatable directories arent available there, so it would require a different entrance point, and those gateways downgrade it kinda badly… maybe nostr (told here by some1, thx! ) can be my solution if it has good enough means to access it, but thats already a different case than urs, but ipfs can solve ur problem… (running my own server or using git will be considered if i find nothing better… ) otherwise the public presence and the juicy swag for the 1337 can get different solutions…

Thank you for your reply.

I will take another look at syncthing and study this project.

Thank you for your reply.

This may be a good project, but as I wrote above, I have other tasks, and I will not be able to use ‘filesender’ for them.

f we are renting stuff now and our people are normal=lazy and like to save some money a cloud storage can be had for about <$1-$5 for one month/100GB assuming Alice doesn’t already have a subscription or a lifetime plan, Alice can get between 100GB up to exobytes with GUI, web interface, a CLI access, even mount the service as a NAS drive to upload and send a zero knowledge encrypted, publicly sharable, password protected, and possibly anonymous link with an expiration date if desired. Alice can send Bob a link that downloads like everything does in the windows/mac world directly from the browser to HDD or USB flash drive. Now once Alice and Bob are happy with the transfer they can cancel the service at one month. It is even possible to buy this via crypto to keep it anonymous as possible with some services frequently wiping IP access logs etc.
I personally have a few hundred GB on stacked privacy cloud lifetime plans mounted as NAS to a very light privacy VPS, I pay both in crypto. Together they do almost anything I could ever need and I can also use the cloud storage service extra link/share/stream/sync features beyond being my 20GB server’s extended HDD, I recommend it to most power users.

Thank you for your reply.

As I wrote above about the tasks, I need a ready-made solution so that I can offer it to a doctor, teacher, welder, bus driver who does not know what VPS, SSH, etc. are.

This is a great thread as big file transfer is still among the most difficult and mostly unsolved things to do for free or even cheap especially for a non-expert on the internet. It is too bad that sometime in the 90s the decision was made that ISP shell accounts were not important anymore, such a powerful tool was taken from the user’s hands.

(edit)

There are rando services like this https://burritoshare.com/ Who are they, why are they

but I just don’t know what the real deal is, they claim zero knowledge crypto etc, I guess bandwith is cheap and I cant see all of the ads?(thanks ublock and router blocklisting) Maybe they are just super cool dudes, who knows?

(edit2) burritoshare seems to use a Google STUN server to pierce NAT and connect two users, there are a number of different firewall and bandwidth estimators on the site in addition to the transfer portal. It is free as in beer and requires trust-me-bro as much as any project which is unaudited by an outside security researcher or team.
