Hi guys,

As the title indicates i'm looking for a way to send files to family and friends ranging from 100Mb to a couple of GB on an ad-hoc basis. I'm more or less after a functionality that allows me to just upload a file to the app then share a link and delete when done. I have seen nextcloud but it seems overkill for what I am after.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated 😀

Nextcloud -- you can share links to files you store on your own server.

If you don't have a persistent server and/or don't want to go to the trouble of hosting your own 'cloud', you could try 'Magic Wormhole' to share files as well.

For Windows, try one of these: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=windows+magic+wormhole+client&t=vivaldi&ia=web

On Android there's a client called 'Wormhole William' -- unsure of the iOS equivalents but I'm sure they exist.
