I have to try this, thanks.

EDIT: unfortunately there’s no way to activate notifications in Safari

I’m currently using email (not self-hosted for now) but sometimes the file size exceeds 25 MB and it won’t get sent. I’m looking for a solution simpler than setting up a mail server.

Also ntfy can be self-hosted (I’m already doing that for other reasons) and it supports file attachments. The problem is the iOS app. Unfortunately gotify does not even have iOS support.

I looked into Syncthing for other reasons in the past, isn’t it a sort of Dropbox replacement? I’m not sure how I can achieve what I want with it.

Let me add specifications I forgot to mention: the file is a pdf and the whole thing should be simple enough for a not tech savvy person. So I’d like to avoid having to browse a list of files etc.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the file is a pdf, unfortunately home assistant does not support that https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/notification-attachments/#supported-media-types

I’ve already looked at pushover, but discarded it because it’s not self hostable.

I want to send a file to an iPad from a cron script. Currently I’m attaching it to a mail, but if the file is bigger than the max attachment size it won’t be sent. Also in this way I’m using an external service when it’s not needed, since both source and destination are on my lan. I tried ntfy because I was already using it for other tasks, so the server was already in place, but then I realized that iPad app is very limited. I also considered to set up a mail server, reachable only within my lan, but since that seems an overkill I’d like to find an alternative.

Thanks for the idea about sending a link, I’ll try that
