I've been wanting something like this for semi-private image shares as Imgur's URLs aren't very random; but Transfer has a similar security problem; it looks like the URLs need to be longer as a prerequisite to being un-crawlable. I hope you'll consider it.

well there is the filename in there, so you could give your files really long names

I use CloudApp for OS X for sharing files and it's pretty convenient. The best part is sharing screenshots with it. You take a screenshot, it is automatically uploaded to the cloud (no pun intended) and the link is copied to your Clipboard. You could not ask for anything simpler.

Never expect things you upload to the internet to be private. There are so many vectors where this can go wrong. The host might list directory indexes, s3 buckets can be open, sites can be hacked, etc etc.
