I use a Telegram (web) chat with myself for sharing files across devices occasionally and it works exceptionally well.
- jstanley 5y agoThere are 2 obvious problems with this approach that Magic Wormhole fixes: 1. you can't start downloading on the other side until the upload is complete - for large transfers this is a significant delay 2. the Telegram operators can read your files
- suifbwish 5y agoTelegram is end to end encrypted
- ycombinete 5y agoNot by default
- SilverRed 5y agoAnd only on mobile so the web client can never be encrypted.
- throwaway67114 5y agoThe only thing end to end encrypted in Telegram is 1 on 1 mobile chats and calls, and you have to explicitly enable it.
- mahathu 5y agoThe instant transfer/download start a really good point in favour of wormhole! I'll give it a try.
- sorenjan 5y agoYou can also use python and any kind of http download tool (browser, curl). Works well within a local network, or if you have control over your firewall. python -m http.server 8000
