Some people around me are worried about WeTransfer or Dropbox becoming the main platforms for large file sharing.

I would be happy to lecture them about Firefox Send or Framadrop.

But the people I am trying to help use locked corporate devices running Internet Explorer. It doesn’t work for them.

Are there other ethical alternatives that could be advised?

@tux I often just use my own FTP server. Support for that has been built into Windows Explorer for decades. Tell them paste this URL into Windows Explorer and copy/paste files into the window that appears.

@adam I get your point, indeed, thanks for pointing this out.

I want to teach users with very low technical skills to send large files to each other. I can see the convenience of having a FTP server, but I am afraid it would probably have other drawbacks. (e.g. A uploads a private file for B and later a private file for C → B and C can download each other’s file.)
