Better to use syncthing, simple equivalent & free / open source.

  Agreed. This just feels like closed-source syncthing.

  Syncthing is great (I use it for all my syncing needs), but it's scope is limited. It doesn't really solve file sharing in a user-friendly way.

    While I agree Syncthing is about seamlessly syncing files with devices you own, not file sharing as such, it does a good 98% of what this program offers with a more open source background and is completely free. I share files, what, once a year? Syncthing works great for that use case. If I want to share files too big to email, I can stand to upload to Onedrive/Dropbox/an open directory on my web server for that one-time use. For more frequent setups, sure an Owncloud/Nextcloud instance wouldn't be amiss.

      Oh I wasn't arguing in favor of using this. I doubt I'll ever use non open software for my data again. Just saying I've run into problems trying to use syncthing for sharing files.

        No offense intended or taken, you and are I are in complete agreement re: what software should be touching our data. I believe you when you say you've had problems performing file shares to arbitrary people, my comments were directed only that my use case is somewhat different. Cheers!
