I'm operating DropJar.om and I can say it's a big headache. For some reason I keep getting DMCA notices from all kinds of lawyers and the occasional take down notice from police when ISIS videos are uploaded there. No income and tons of complaints. http://dropjar.com

There's a referral link in the lower right corner of your site. A few seconds after the page loads, clicking anywhere on the page takes you to hidemyass.com. I don't know if this was intentional on your part, but if so it's pretty deceptive.

Wow, you are plugging your affiliate link hard on that iste.
How do you prevent fraud? What keeps users from uploading copyrighted material or using the site as download-mirror?
As mentioned in a previous comment, since uploaders aren't rewarded for downloads this shouldn't become too big of an issue to handle.

Basic features will be available to all free users and no extreme upload/download limits (e.g 100 KB/s download speeds, 100 MB upload limits, etc.).
Sounds exactly like other services that offer premium file services, how is this different? Also, while I know you're claiming this doesn't take away from the free users, it clearly does.

I suggest you read it. In a nutshell: don't.
The problem is growth. It will quickly get too expensive and you will not have nearly enough revenue to support it. I guarantee you it will happen.
Currently I run a file hosting service with controlled growth. Accounts are not available to the public - you have to apply for one, and I approve them conservatively (130 approved, 137 rejected users as of writing). All users are also expected to donate. I think all new file hosting sites should take link rot seriously and if they don't it's a net negative on the internet. I hate that if I look at a forum post written >5 years ago, odds are all of the images will be broken.
If anyone wants an account on my website, I might be inclined to approve a few today: https://sr.ht
I have a tough time trusting a new service where I cannot figure out where this business is located / registered, where they have a physical presence, the person/team who built this service. Having more details in an About Us section would help it look more legit.

Looks like nofile.io is depending on cloudflare. Which, I assume doesn't jive with their TOS "SECTION 10: LIMITATION ON NON-HTML CACHING" policy.
Only static content is served over Cloudflare. All uploads/downloads are done directly with the storage servers.
