That's a good point. I don't know if not storing (just relay) on the server helps my case. I'll read up more on it.

Anyway, this is just a pet project at the moment. My wife wanted some file that was on my work laptop which has AirDrop disabled, so obviously instead of emailing her the files, I went ahead and built this app.

Thank you again!

For direct use by close people, it's a great project and you don't need need to worry about the legal implications.

I doubt relay would help with a public facing project because even if it is legally defensible, at any kind of scale you will wind up defending it against well funded highly motivated adversaries...and you probably don't want to die on that hill.

Or to put it another way, if it's public facing you would probably benefit from paid legal advice and if paying a lawyer seems like too much that's probably a symptom of it not being suitable for a public face.
