Me sending: I have an owncloud server where I can release an file for a set amount of time with an password if it needs to be somewhat secure. It's not the most secure but I can just send them the link.

Me recieving: Generally an usb stick.

Though to be honest this doesn't happen to me often so I might act different if that were the case.

Do you run your owncloud server on your own hardware or in the cloud?

Also I assume you use it pretty extensively so the files you are sharing would likely already be there / not have to be uploaded first?

On your own hardware with TLS and a decent password seems like a decent effort to me - better than just attaching things to an email :-) Exchanging the password might be tricky though...
