I'm curious how you would use this. What files would you share and with who?

I'm so used to sharing via cloud services and chat apps that I really don't know who or what I'd use this with. Just curious what situations this would come in handy for you.

How about a video of my kids with my Mum who has come to visit?

Uploading and downloading the file to a cloud service will take a while. Many will reencode the video and loose quality. I then have to communicate a URL, rather than have my mum just look in a flyweb (or airdrop or whatever) place on her machine.
