The thing that usually annoys me about these services is they tend to give you an intractably complex URL to share with the recipient. This poses a problem because every time I need such a P2P transfer, I’m communicating with someone over the phone and they need the file on a computer (which may not even be their own, so email is also cumbersome).
https://file.pizza does this better than most, as the URL consists of real words. But all the words are ingredients in English which comes back to being an issue again.
https://pairdrop.net is my go-to, since it allows creating temporary “rooms” with just five letters, which are easy to share over the phone.
Still, I continue to wait for the holy grail of a P2P service which would allow me to initiate a connection via CLI and get a simple URL to share with someone who could download the file from a web browser, saving me from having to babysit the browser tab. There are services which allow you to upload via CLI and download via web browser, but they host your file so you have to wait for the full upload to finish before sharing the link.
