In the forum, I saw a couple of people suggesting,

Syncthing (But Syncthing for Android is dead, AFAIK)
USB stick
Cloud storage

Please suggest if there are any alternatives. Or what is the option that you're using.

If files were easily accessible between profiles, wouldn't that harm the privacy of having multiple profiles?

[–] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Not necessarily. It would provide an attack vectore for sure, that being the data connection between profiles, but if it is implemented in a controllable manner (See qubes os), it's fine. The only issue I see with GrapheneOS in this scenario is: There is no uncompromised host for verification, so I don't really know myself how something safe could be implemented, however I would also think devs don't really want to, since there are ways which OP has already described some of.

Sorry, my point was when you have control over what gets shared and you basically decide the files yourself, you can also control what kind of data gets shared, so theres not just a straight up hole.

Sorry I've never actually tried it, I just knew it existed

There is a syncthing fork that is being maintained.

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oddly enough, it's called Syncthing-fork.
