FYI you can even text yourself on WhatsApp without needing a group
I tried looking for it. but i couldn't find how to do it. how does one do that?
"Whatsapp Dialer" in app store.
Or clicking on this link (replace example phone # with your phone number):
wa.me/17861234567
1 is US's country code. 786 is Miami's / Operator code 1234567 is the phone number
(100mbps wifi = 12MBps speeds).

I do the same, and I think it's sad that this is the best we can do in 2021 :)
It's even more worse in the mobile world. I would share a lot of pictures after two weeks holiday with somebody who has an Iphone. I have an Android phone. There is not way to transfer pictures direct from Android to Iphone (holiday location != flat rate). WTF 2021.

Not supporting HTTPS together with falsely claiming "no server involvement" when everything happens via the server makes me think this is a honeypot or something like that.
If there is no server involvement, how could there be HTTPS, which by definition requires some trust in the server?
Why would anyone use this service when you can just transfer files by temporarely opening a TCP port and starting a netcat listener that you pipe into the file you want? It's as simple as nc -lvnp 1234 > myfile.txt The other party then only needs to pipe the file into a netcat socket from their commandline. nc -w 3 IP Jokes aside I'm intrigued at the "no server involvement". I'm assuming they mean the file isn't tran…
Those are not a pipes though, they're redirections. This common mistake surely means your expertise on this matter is lacking and therefor your opinion is worthless.
Used to use sharedrop.io but found the “saved messages” option in Telegram is just the most zero friction option for mobile desktop transfers.

The web page must be served from somewhere, even if the server it came from really wasn't involved in file transfers. It would be nice to have HTTPS for the client to rule out MITM attacks or the like.

Yes, today it's much harder to transfer files in a local network without using cloud (or external coordinator), for some reason.
of course security was near nonexistent, but it was home LAN, and convenience trumped all.
Nowadays I have NO idea if I could do a similar setup with Windows 10 without resorting to the cloud
Minified and obfuscated so it's hard to tell what's going on in this but it looks like it uses WebRTC to do peer-to-peer transfers, with the aid of a STUN server to establish the initial connection.
Here you have a somewhat unminified/reverse-engineered source: https://pastebin.com/NzP3KMKy Some of the variables are harder to infer what they mean though, so it's incomplete.
