I need a solution to sending end2end encrypted data on a mobile device. There are apps but they all have permissions that require special access to your phone and i sure as hell dont want to use a app by any tech giant that are not trust worthy. I dont want a app that shares the same encryption protocol as major apps like fb, google etc. Something custom or that includes a cypher. Any recommendations would be great.

@m_svo it looks like the app contains trackers from google for advertising and analytics.

@nikolal @m_svo its not exactly what i need but this app would be good for my nas to test and my other devices.

You can use croc with tmux, install termux with F-Droid, then in termux install croc with:
pkg install croc
Grant termux access to your storage with: termux-setup-storage
(no root required but you will be prompted for storage access). Finally send files with croc. Links to tools used:
schollz.com/software/croc/
f-droid.org/en/packages/com.te
You can setup permanent passwords for convenient sending, just read through croc link.

@nikolal @m_svo thanks I will look into this, sounds promising. I could encrypt/decrypt locally but thats a bit of a hassle

@lnx
Or you can encrypt/decrypt locally with OpenKeychain and find whatever way to send file.

@lnx I use resilio sync (formerly bittorent sync)

It's end to end encrypted and only you and receiver have any access to the data. There's no server ie middleman etc.

Most secure thing I've seen so far. Been using it for years 👌🏻🔒😊

@lnx I use it across all my devices (PC phone iPad) and with friends.

Great thing is to it always maxes out your connection so it's bloody fast.

What I like like I said that makes it better than everything else I've tried is there's no server, no drop box, middleman etc so it's just a straight pipe between you and whoever which makes it infinitely more secure.
