Best way to share audio files with tech noobs?
I was about to suggest to send the files through torrent, it is the simplest method for sending files from one computer to another if you don't need to announce it on a tracker. Just create a torrent file, send it through email, double click at the other end and the transfer starts.

I would make use of a VPS to serve a directory with the files using Nginx. The VPS is ~$5 /month. You can share the ip or buy a domain name for ~$10/year. If you are not opposed to vibe-coding, you can probably generate the Nginx + HTML config to play through the songs without having to click them individually with little effort.

Gotta love pixeldrain's Patreon tier names. BUT! It doesn't have quite as cool a slogan as buzzheavier: Remember: Sharing is caring, censorship is lame, and Buzzheavier is forever.

The only down side is that they need to install a torrent client. I usually make them install Transmission, it is the simplest torrent client I know of and its name says all they need to know about what it is for.

Gotcha fair enough. I just figured since you were using google products it would be acceptable.

It's kind of a catch-22 finding a solution that works for non tech folk.
You can send up to 100MB files on signal if that's acceptable to you.
