Hopefully, we'll add sending files between networks pretty soon as well.

However, it's already possible with similar WebRTC based services like https://www.sharefest.me/ or https://rtccopy.com/.

Thanks!

Ironically, most of my file emailing does in fact take place within the same network.

Why no use of SMB networks? Always puzzled me.

Because configuring SMB on each machine is hard and takes time.
