Is Briar a good option for encrypted messaging and file transfer?
After the Matrix file upload limit thing, I’m looking to move away from the messages stored on a server paradigm both to avoid having to pay for file uploads and because it doesn’t make sense to host files on a server indefinitely if they’re only intended for one other person and don’t need to be kept for very long.
Why not just transfer encrypted files through clearnet?
Isnt that how u end up in a fbi list?
The fbi list is an excel spreadsheet with the whole population. You’re already on it.
U know theres a difference between being under a normal room’s lamp, and the concentrated, burning, blind inducing spot light, right?
In Briar, it’s only possible to send images - not any other file, as of this writing.
They have a very clear stance on not rushing releases, and focusing on security and stability rather than features, which is laudable, but on the flip side that means one must probably wait for months, if not years, for new features.
