Is there like a well-stated law yet, that any file transfer service which can be used without authentication will get buried under use for illegal content sharing until it gets shut down? There probably should be.

This looks super clean and super convenient, and that's why I expect it to get obliterated by bad actors unless it's doing something really magical to avoid problems there.

There is a clear Abuse Report link in the bottom of the main page and every download page for DMCA or related abuses that are listed in the ToS.

My concern is less about it being impossible to legally operate, but that the amount of illegal/spam/malware content that will utilize the service within the free tier will make it impractical to operate.

WeTransfer, Filemail and others seem to be doing fine. But you are right, the overhead of dealing with abuse content might be substantial.

In that case what separates you from them?

Feature-wise?

- Streaming downloads; you don't have to wait for the upload to finish

- Fast uploads; there's a mini benchmark in the background that picks the best upload location

- Verified upload integrity on each file chunk

- Photobooks
