What does "Download Only: When this setting is active, your file will only be available for download" mean? Isn't that the whole point of the service? What else would you do?

It has a default viewer, this disables it and the link turns to be a direct link to the download.

Yttr, try thinking as a first time user and adjust your UI accordingly. Even better, ask a few friends to try it out and see what is confusing in the workflow.

I tried it on my iPad and I get an error after attempting to upload the file.

I wonder about their pick of TTL - 1 day, 4 days, 12 days. Why not an hour, 12 hours, a day, a week, two weeks?!

Anyway, seems like an awesome service with an invite-only API, which I can definitely incorporate in my https://github.com/nikolay/wshare project!

My project is only tangentially related but a little similar. https://github.com/abemassry/wsend deletes after 1 month.

We should team up, I'll contact you offline.

Yeah, it would be nice to combine effort and implement support for different backends.

I just visited this page on an iPad, but it gives some bare text about how I should upgrade my web browser. That seems disingenuous as even if I can't USE the site I might at least have been interested in finding out more about the service, what it is, and what it does.

But now my interest has been lost and, chances are, I won't get a chance to see this page again. Which is a shame - but attention can never be taken for granted. Every interaction counts - don't throw chances away with huffy messages about browser technologies.

I like the built-in viewer. You can probably also serve PDFs in an iframe since FF/Chrome/IE have built-in PDF viewers these days.

In addition, if you'd like to support picking files from cloud storage, I'd recommend checking out the Kloudless file explorer http://jsfiddle.net/pseudonumos/PB565/embedded/result/ (disclaimer: I work at Kloudless)

For me it gets to 100% and then nothing happens. (Firefox nightly though so I guess I am probably asking for it)

No matter what I upload, I get to 100% and then I get "Wow, an error occurred."

Firefox 32, linux

This shouldn't happen. Can you help us fix it by sending what shows up in the console?

"[Yttr] Server responded with 500." Object { error: true, type: 0, message: "Wow, an error ocurred." }

fwiw files without extensions cause an error

    "[Yttr] One or more values from file object missing." File { size: 0, type: "", name: "thefile", path: "", lastModifiedDate: Date 2014-09-20T23:26:04.000Z, mozFullPath: "/tmp/thefile" }

It relies on browser information to upload. If the browser doesn't identifies size, type or name, it returns an error.

Seems like an useful service. Any plans for native apps (OSX/Windows)?
