Been awhile since I saw a thread like this and they're always good for at least one or two things I've never heard of before. Bonus points if the software is open source and cross platform. Extra bonus points if you link to where we can see it/get it.

My contribution: Destiny which is an anonymous, P2P, E2EE file sharing app - its basically a GUI for a Magic Wormhole implementation. Works on Linux (tarball or appimage), Win, Mac, Android (inc f-droid) and iOS. Only downside is it's not been updated for 2 years.

SimpleX has file sharing too now, it's great :)

Sadly limited to 1gb afaik

Use PeaZip (which is better than 7-ZIP because it's cross-platform) to split large files into as many smaller chunks as you'd like.

I never realized 7zip was Windows only :-(

Thanks for sharing

but yea, anyways, native support for bigger files would be better. Not easy to split files on mobile

7-zip is now cross platform. There used to be a linux implementation called p7-zip but its not necessary any more.

The website states

7-Zip for Linux: console version

It seems it is CLI only
