Cool service. It fits a nice niche as I have coworkers who don't have Dropbox (or Drive, Box, etc.) installed, so I can just send them a link to this site instead. I'll test it with them and see how it goes.

Thanks, It works on mobile without any problems.

Sorry, should have tested it. I'll edit my comment.

Cool landing page. What's next after the the initial push? Are you going to make an API?

Good question, that's an option I didn't consider yet, I thought more on the option of forming some sort of pro account that you can use with your own backgrounds, password protection etc.

Nice UI design, I really like the bottle theme! It's a well-implemented service, with value in its simplicity and singular function. I’ve seen a many, many similar services start the same exact way and they ultimately all add features and complexity, which takes them away from the simplicity that make them interesting.

Yes, I agree. My aim is not to get there and keep it very focused. Thank you for the feedback.

That's pretty nice. I recently slapped a (buggy) sharing application together for Android so my wife could "send" large(-ish) videos to friends and family directly from the Gallery/Photo app, via the "Share" option, since files of a certain size are disallowed from the e-mail service she uses.

I think this is far more useful for these kinds of "one-off" shares than going through a series of third-party gates like Dropbox for example, especially if the intended recipients don't have accounts on those sites.
