Which of all of these is the best? Which is most likely to still have my files after 5+ years?

The one I posted is (mine and) amateur, don't use it.

It will probably be around for 5 years, but is not undergoing active development, and it was a side project I worked on for funsies (I may come back to it one day, and it's kind of a leave-it-be project, especially without 100s of users).

Please refer to the other ones for a serious (or at least more well thought out) solution.

I do this too, but I find it annoying not knowing if the file has been received and when it's safe for me to delete it.

Next version I'll add the possibility to add a timespan in number of days or number of downloads before deletion. What about that?

I'd personally love a website that offered self-destructing url pointers or downloads. So, a url that redirects once to the target, that sort of thing.

How did you make the demo? I'd love to put something similar on http://ipinfo.io

Using tty2gif, I've made it work at my mac. Only need to find some time to upload the changes to the repo. http://z24.github.io/tty2gif/

tty2gif author here. Could you send me a pull request about your mac version? I can merge them if I have time. Thanks for your efforts!

Hi...I write a wrapper tool, hopeful easy to use, and now just upload & download twice function.

https://github.com/daineseh/py-transfer.sh

ex1: Upload a file to http://transfer.sh

  $./pt.py -u /home/something/file1
# and output a link for download:

  https://transfer.sh/19Xwp/file1

ex2: Upload multiple files to http://transfer.sh

  $./pt.py -u /home/something/file1 /home/something/file2 /home/something/file3
# and output some link for downloads:

  https://transfer.sh/19Xwp/file1

  https://transfer.sh/19Xwp/file2

  https://transfer.sh/19Xwp/file3

ex3: download multiple files from http://transfer.sh

  $./pt.py -d https://transfer.sh/19Xwp/file1 https://transfer.sh/1fn4k/file2
# Print downloads information:

  Download ./file1 done.
  
  Download ./file2 done.

ex4: download multiple files and specify path from http://transfer.sh

  $./pt.py -d https://transfer.sh/19Xwp/file1  https://transfer.sh/1fn4k/file2 -w /home/user/
# Print downloads information:

  Download /home/user/file1 done.

  Download /home/user/file2 done.

You might not want to be too strict about it. I know I'll sometimes look at an attachment on the go, but not be able to download it until later when I'm at home.
