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?
How would you send things between profiles?

tripodchief You could consider:
- A USB drive
- Cloud storage: for example, Proton Drive
- File sync: for example, Syncthing
tripodchief hello i use olvid
I tend to use KDE Connect. Each profile appears as a separate device
Yes I tried also with Primitive ftpd, but I was not successful.
tripodchief I use Session Messenger

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
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.
