I find myself often having to transfer a random files from another person's device to mine. Existing file sharing solutions aren't exactly ideal because they either require me to remember a very long URL (file shares), or requiring me to log in on others' device (cloud). I'm wondering if there's a program where anyone can upload files, but can only be viewed and downloaded from the server by authenticated users. I understand it's not wise to accept files from unauthenticated users, but it would be so damn convenient. If there isn't one, I suppose that would be my next project.

I use https://file.pizza/. It's open source and has password protection options and everything.
