I've been bookmarking point-to-point file transfer tools. These are not file hosting services like Firefox Send; both endpoints must be online at the same time. Nevertheless, I suspect they might be useful to some other folks here. Please post corrections or more detail on any of these if you have it. I haven't had time to try most of them yet.
