An even more popular alternative is Resilio Sync. I still use it because somehow sharing with the tech savvy isn't a big problem, but with the unsavvy is. A GUI and a single string is on the edge of the possible, and I share much more (large, noncode, files) with this group.

It makes sense to compare croc to wormhole because they're the same thing: PAKE-backed file transfer, where nobody has accounts, no central server holds the files, everything works from behind a NAT, all you have to is install the tool and give your counterparty an autogenerated secret password for the file.

  Apart from Pake, all that applies to Resilio, which I'm pretty sure has a bigger uptake than the rest combined.

    I mean, Google Drive has more uptake than any of these things. We're comparing PAKE-driven file transfer schemes.

      I thought we were comparing p2p file sharing applications. Drive et all are of course entirely different.

And it has a mobile client that has autosynced folders, so you only need to set it up once
