I would like to draw you attention to a really cool, instant, distributed, secure file sharing technology. For situations where you quickly just want to sent a file to somebody without using Dropbox, Drive, ...

Magic Wormhole
magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/

If you just want to quickly try it out, there's a GUI app here:
github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui

The web version (webwormhole.io) and/or its firefox/chrome plugins are also super slick!

However, wormhole apps are not inter-operable. So wormhole-gui can't share with webwormhole.io and vice versa. Not a big issue IMHO but something to keep in mind.

I like OnionShare too. The other side (reveiving *or* sending) only needs tor browser, and ability to copy&paste an URL.

It's probably easier to infect people with tor browser than to direct them to install a CLI tool, and they might find it useful otherwise...
