How would you send things between profiles?

What do/would you use to communicate between profiles?
I have signal and my main camera in my owner profile, and a secondary profile for social media apps, sometimes I'm wanting to send photos, links or text between profiles.
Is there a cloud notes app that works with photos for basic copy pasting? Or some other way of privately being able to copy/paste these things and access them across profiles?

tripodchief You could consider:

A USB drive
Cloud storage: for example, Proton Drive
File sync: for example, Syncthing

Your file exchange is locally or by internet ?

I tend to use KDE Connect. Each profile appears as a separate device

Hat I don't personally use Syncthing, but the last time I tested it, I believe either was possible.

Hat if you configure it to use localhost no network required.

You need an app like Syncthing that can communicate to other user(s) via localhost, as Inter-process communication (IPC) does not work between users for normal apps

nrt
localhost is also network, that's why you need to grant the network permission to Syncthing on GrapheneOS

Yes I tried also with Primitive ftpd, but I was not successful.

[deleted] sure. WiFi/Lan is not required when using localhost.

I use syncthing and it works fine, but I see 2 problems:

sometimes I have to force close the application in both profiles because it doesn't start syncing content.
I have to disable the app in all profiles because otherwise it consumes a lot of battery all the time, it's annoying to have to go into settings of both profiles and re-enable it.
