File transfer websites

That https://transfer.sh looks pretty slick.
it's pretty much a system like Drop Box.. but completely open with no logons.
There was a website that did this years ago - you upload something, get a link and then anyone with the link could download it... same principal.

That's what I love about it! Can you manually kill the connection so that file isn't sitting out there, or do you have to wait the 14 days for it to time out?

@BBigford You have to wait. If you look at there GitHub, it's listed under "Issues"

Using Google Apps for Work Unlimited I've setup a dedicated domain just for storage and get unlimited for $50/month. Servers backup data to there using https://github.com/odeke-em/drive

A friend of mine made this ages ago:
HTTPS, files expire/delete after 48 hours, 1 GB limit, if you give an email address you get more but it's not used for marketing or any of that fun.

I assume this is to transfer personal unimportant files to your friends? Hard for me to think of a way this becomes useful to me and I don't mean that in a mean way. I literally can't think of why I'd use it

If direct transfer is what is required then there is https://www.justbeamit.com/

@aaronstuder @Dashrender which podcast is this?

I could use either being useful - the store and retrieve would be nice, you're at home, you send it there and go to work and pull it down.
As for the file.pizza one - yeah mostly for person to person transfers.. hey check out this video I have on my PC, or this file, etc...
If you need security, you have to pre encrypt it.

Seems unlikely. You have to be pretty technical to use something like this.

Try this:
https://file.pizza/romano-squid-lobster-broccoli
Maybe it just doesn't like small files?
That gives me a download link, and now my pizza is spinning, but 0bps transfer.
That appears to be all that that site does.

As there is no authentication, how would you kill it without making it public for everyone to kill other peoples' stuff?

I'm sure it already has been.

I use https://www.wetransfer.com/ myself. I don't need to transfer huge files and when I do, I use a Dropbox link. I got a TB with them, so uploading and sharing is no biggie for me. I must say, though... transfer.sh is pretty cool.
