Ask HN: What problems do you have when copy/pasting between devices?

Hi HN I want to know what you guys use when you want to copy/paste text and or files between devices. What app are you using? Is it working for you? If not why?

Tell me everything!

Someone posted his project a few weeks ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23418669 It looks interesting (but I would not use it for passwords).

I saw your comments and was wondering why you wouldn't trust the service? It seems that the data is encrypted when sent between devices. What is preventing you from using this for passwords ?

My guess is that it is safe and the owner is not eavesdropping the conversation. But it is impossible to be 100% sure. (Just call me paranoid if you wish.)

I tried a few times with not secret data and it works.

Fair point. Thank you for your answers!
