I use Whatsapp for that purpose. 1. create a group with some one on your contact list. 2. Kick the other person out of group 3. now, attach any file you want to the group and access it via whatsapp web. Pretty simple to setup and use. for larger files, i would use ftp client on Mobile and use it to transfer files

FYI you can even text yourself on WhatsApp without needing a group

  I tried looking for it. but i couldn't find how to do it. how does one do that?

    You basically have to start a conversation with yourself. AFAIK, there is no way to do that in the mobile app, so you will need to use those Whatsapp redirectors, and redirect to your own number. I made this phone number -> Whatsapp redirector that you can try. Zero server interactions, only JS. https://altbdoor.github.io/whatsapp-redir/ https://altbdoor.github.io/whatsapp-redir/

    "Click to Chat" in play store. "Whatsapp Dialer" in app store. Or clicking on this link (replace example phone # with your phone number): wa.me/17861234567 1 is US's country code. 786 is Miami's / Operator code 1234567 is the phone number

      This seems incredibly clunky compared to Signal where you by design can message yourself without any hassle (and you're called "Note to Self" in the chat list).

        iirc you could do that in the early days of WhatsApp. Dunno why they removed it though.

Seems to me that this strategy requires blind trust in Mark Zuckerberg.

  I don't think Mark Zuckerberg has broken E2E encryption yet. But yes, there is some metadata.

  Telegram self messages are not E2E encrypted at all.
