Is it a good idea to share files between two Android phones anonymously thru the SimpleX Chat transfer protocol? Or are there easier/better ways?

You use their servers to find your device and then exchange directly with it. They have discovery servers that link you when you don't have a fixed ip address.

Or you can host your own personal discovery server for that.
