    Yes, and I am telling you that you are incorrect to assert that sending someone a file requires a middle man or a thumb drive.

        He said p2p file sharing. It seems like it could solve the problem for Mango.

        But honestly I would like to know what Mango was doing back in the day before all the “middle men” inserted themselves. What is the ideal solution if you could snap your fingers and make it happen?

          I have no horse in this fight, but just off the top of my head agreed on standards for p2p file transfers. A baked in utility that makes sending and receiving files would go a long way towards bringing the feature to every day users and the standards mean the power user can send and receive files from their favorite CLI or choose from one of many paid and open source options. Both users can send and receive back and forth to each other without having to agree upon a third party client, or without a client at all.
