Very similar to MinBox which I've used a bit. Minbox is cool because it works on your desktop and allows the recipient to trigger the donwnload while its being sent. Haven't used it in a while though https://minbox.com/

Looks very slick, nice design.

What about privacy of the data? Where is it going? Is it stored encrypted?

No, it's not encrypted, although this can be added I guess on the client, I wouldn't trust anything that's not encrypted on the client side and claims to be encrypted. However for that you need a client app. However I do need to add a privacy statement... we aim more towards people who share their work with others not so much for extremely private media.

Suggestion, after i drop something then ask me who to email it to and auto generate a link. save me a step if i want to just copy/paste a link.

the form is optional, you get a link at the end anyway ;-) or did I not read your comment right ?

Also, how are you gonna protect yourself against people uploading copyrighted contents?

Hopefully this will be a small problem. It's not a file sharing service, files are deleted automatically after 7 days, and if we get specific complaints we will delete them immediately.

What do you mean by "It's not a file sharing service"? Isn't this a service for sharing files?

It's not a file sharing service as in one does not (hopefully) use it to share copyright material on a forum and spread it to thousands as it gets deleted after a few days.
