It depends in whether I want to send it to someone in the local network or through the internet.
For local network:
I use miniserve ( https://github.com/svenstaro/miniserve https://github.com/svenstaro/miniserve ) which is just a simple http server.
There are similar tools for when I want to share it from the smartphone.
Through the internet it really varies:
Sometimes it is Firefox send ( https://send.firefox.com/ https://send.firefox.com/ )
For photos, I use a self hosted photo solution piwigo ( https://github.com/Piwigo/Piwigo https://github.com/Piwigo/Piwigo )
In earlier days it has been a self hosted nextcloud ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server https://github.com/nextcloud/server ) instance. I still use it when the files are getting too large for Firefox send.
I also tried the already mentioned wormhole but this works only with tec ppl.
- lowwave 6y agofor local network. You can just do python3 -m http.server in the dir, or python -m SimpleHTTPServer (python2) Or npm install -g http-server for nodejs, then http-server Local network is easy.
- domh 6y agoIf you're using a recent version of node/npm, you can just do: npx http-server . To remove the global install step. This will install and run all in one command.

- mkl 6y agoThat's unfortunate. That was my go-to method. From https://send.firefox.com/ https://send.firefox.com/: "Firefox Send is temporarily unavailable while we work on product improvements. We appreciate your patience while we make the Firefox Send experience better."
