IMVHO the main issue in file transfer today is that in 2022 most people still do not have a public ip (like an IPv6 global ones) so most people still have NAT traversal issues and need to relay on third parties or not-so-performant more or less distributed networks...
The second main issue is that most do not own a personal domain name with a subdomain per personal host (like {desktop,craphone,laptop}.mydomain.tld etc).
Those two issues are so big IMVHO that push all others aside...
- superkuh 5y agoYep. Most people do not have an internet connection. They only have a web+ connection from a mobile telco further restricted by not having control of their hardware. So, if we care about the internet we can ignore them and just develop as we always have for actual computers on the internet. But if you're only profit motivated then this isn't reasonable and you should only target smartphones without internet access and gimp your software to make it possible to run on such limited platforms.
- kkfx 5y agoThat's why some use FLOSS and others have invented the concept of public research, and that's why they are they are fought, parasitized, hindered, denaturized from the inside. The trick is to know how much "little" critical mass is needed to succeed...
