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

  1. Syncthing (But Syncthing for Android is dead, AFAIK)
  2. USB stick
  3. Cloud storage

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

    Not specific to grapheneos, and also battery friendly on LOS is localsend, and on gnu+linux I use instead localsend-go since it offers a CLI (what I use) and a rudimentary TUI which is missing some functionality but good enough (I prefer using it as CLI). But localsend also includes a windows app BTW. On gnu+linux some prefer kdeconnect, but I find it more battery intensive than localsend on the phone, and the extra functionality is not what I expected, like I originally guessed I could write sms from a gnu+linux box, or read past one, and that’s not what sms control means.

    Don’t these alternatives work on grapheneos for some reason?

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

      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.

    Anything where you put the file somewhere under profile A then read it under profile B will work.

    Depending on why you want to transfer a file between profiles there are probably different tools you’ll like.
