Why?

I normally use python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
to transfer some files,
but unfortunately there are many people
who don't have a Mac or Linux.

In those cases I have to fall back to
WhatsApp Web. If I want to transfer
files with sensitive information,
I hesitate to upload it to servers
I don't control.
