"It's practically stupid to start another File Transfer Service in 2019". That was what almost all my friends said when I told them about MiDrive Transfer.

I decided to build it because I was frustrated with using other services. I felt a little more latitude should be given to the basic users.

2 months after the thought, I launched MiDrive Transfer (https://transfer.midrive.io). Transfer large files for free. Full featured include

Free for all to use.

Doesn't require you to sign-up

No ads

Up to 10GB file size for free (compared to 2GB for other platforms)

30 days expiry date (compared to 7 days for other platforms)

Simple and responsive

Everything that added up as a premium feature on other platforms was simply free. e.g. Password Protection.

It doesn't mean ship untested crap, it means don't let fear of breaking something prevent you from making progress.

Lol. Fair point. But I feel there is a very thin line between your 2 statements. Fortunately, it helped us with progress
