Most people here are referring to transfers of their own data. How do people transfer their confidential information to say, their solicitors, who may be on different operating systems and behind NAT / firewalls?

Specifically if cloud services are banned by the solicitor's company.

You'd have thought by 2023 this would have been solved but I don't believe it has. Particularly as PGP email administration (including key management over time / replacement hardware) is non trivial and unlikely to be successfully achieved by the non tech savvy.

and then disable "do not disturb mode", swipe down notifications about 5 times until USB device pops up, open it, approve the hex shit, peck at the tiny button to change its mode from MDI/UTP/PCP/whatever other hell options are out there to a file transfer mode, then hope and pray it shows up on computer, then click, wait a long time, then navigate the phone's messed up file system before you can drop something in th…

I don’t do any of that. Once I had to say “trust computer.” It mounts automatically after that.

Gonnect or valent?

I see what you're asking now. I think just the QT client in desktop.

Likely means you installed KDE which is huge just to send messages on your LAN.

Could probably be a Python script.

I'm fine downloading some dependencies so I don't have to run random scripts on my phone, and can share clipboard, thanks.
