      I use Syncthing for other purposes, but I think it’s pretty complicated for a one-off transfer.

      given that most people use windows, it is:

      • download exe
      • run exe
      • attempt to teach the other person to not be scared of the “hacker window” that popped up
      • exchange IDs
      • accept folder, find a place for it

      exchangeing IDs is especially tricky if you both are in a call, and the PC does not have a messaging account that can reach you, because they live on their phones or something

        Probably not basic user friendly, true, but the upside is that you set it up once and can send files all the time by just placing it in a directory, doesn’t get simpler than that.

          ok, but most of the times this would be useful I wouldn’t send another in the foreseeable future, probably even in multiple years
