What hackers say

“You can share with file synchronisation apps like Syncthing/Ouisync [0]”

Sharing files requires a bit of creativity. You can share with file synchronisation apps like Syncthing/Ouisync [0], exploit a temporary weakness in the isolation model with Inter Profile Sharing [1], or simply copy the files over to an external storage device and transfer them that way.

Criticism

“My gut feeling says that it's the Android client[0], but I'll have to find the time to look into this more closely.”

It used to work very reliably for many years and I used it for pretty much everything (photos, ebooks, notes, Signal backups, …). However, last fall it simply stopped syncing (traffic at 0 B/s) in 90% of the cases, no matter the file size, even though my devices see each other and Syncthing recognizes that files are out of sync. I have already reset and reinstalled Syncthing various times – no idea what's going on. My gut feeling says that it's the Android client[0], but I'll have to find the time to look into this more closely. [0]: https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android
