Is it a good idea to share files between two Android phones anonymously thru the SimpleX Chat transfer protocol? Or are there easier/better ways?

    Wait… I thought the whole premise of Syncthing is that the syncing devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. How do you configure it to not need this?

      You use their servers to find your device and then exchange directly with it. They have discovery servers that link you when you don’t have a fixed ip address.

      Or you can host your own personal discovery server for that.

      i didn’t have to configure it to do anything. paired the devices manually like normal while being on different networks. syncthing figures out the rest.
