• I think my grievance is in how “do it for me” I expected the app to be. Setup was simple enough, syncing files seemed to work fine. Sharing files between users I never figured out, and is why I got the application in the first place.

    I guess when I hear file transfer, I assume that interuser transfers should be just as easy as system to system transfers.

    I think I expected the app to do things it isn’t for, easier than it does. Tbh I can’t exactly remember, as I found it near the beginning of my selfhosting journey and my mind was swimming with new information at the time. It’s possible I’m just a big dummy 😅

      You can do user to user transfer. I will try and simplify it.

      1. Make a folder with same name on two devices.
      2. Connect them using scanner code in web app or app.
      3. Make sure to keep source as sender and be able make changes. While receiver should only recieve and do no changes.
      4. Copy file to the folder and it will be sent to reciever.

      Afterwards you can remove the file from folder and receiver can also move it elsewhere to view.

      Once set up is very easy to send. Its ok ask away if you got any doubts.
