Show HN: 10MinuteStorage – Filesharing simplified with three words
- desireco42 11y agoLooks like a good idea to me. Looked at site, very clean. Good work!
- seangrant 11y agoWhat systems do you have in place to prevent abuse?
- jtokoph 11y agoGreat idea Christian! Just sent you an email regarding a security/privacy issue around data leakage that is occurring on the site.
- dvt 11y agoAwesome idea. 10 minute expiry should reduce abuse and impending DMCA's :)
- volaski 11y agoOne of the cleverest ideas I've seen on HN lately. Great job!
- copperx 11y agoBeautiful user experience. I'm assuming the file will remain "alive" while it is downloading, right? So after you share it and the download starts, the receiver can take, say, 2 hours to download the file?
- _kst_ 11y agoI just copied a couple of files there. In the browser window where I copied them, it correctly showed the sizes as 8 kbytes and 63 kbytes. When I re-open the same page, it shows them as "8 bytes" and "63 bytes". They download correctly. Is there a way to copy files other than drag-and-drop? That's not always convenient, and in some environments might not be possible. (As hanniabu points out, clicking on the drop zone opens a file selection dialog, so never mind.)
- hanniabu 11y agoJust did it in mobile. If you click the drop zone you can select files from your document folder.
- hienyimba 11y agoWow. Super cool idea. Are you the guy behind 10minutesmail.com? Asking bcus it seems related.
- arm 11y agoOr maybe even 10minutemail.com. :P
- modoc 11y agoNope! I'm the guy behind 10MinuteMail.com. But this looks super cool! Glad to see the trend for ephemeral services:) Would be happy to cross promote with links though if the creator is interested.
- adammunich 11y agoYour service has helped me get soooo many fairchild semiconductor samples, thank you :-).
- arm 11y agoOh wow, seriously? I also have to thank you for 10MinuteMail.com! I’ve used it to the point that it’s got a spot in my web browser’s bookmark bar. ;)
- hbking 11y agoHey Modoc, your 10minutemail was the source for this idea, i use your service very often. Thanks for the chance to cross promote, are you on twitter?
- unsignedint 11y agoVery cool. I have been looking for ways to easily move small data between my machines. (I have Syncthing setup between machines, but it's a bit cumbersome when I just want push a file or two.) I definitely give this a try for this purpose.
- hanniabu 11y agoPretty nifty....Is there a file size limit?
- hbking 11y agoHey Hanniabu, no filesize limit, it's fair use...
- hanniabu 11y agoPretty nifty....Is there a file size limit?
- amelius 11y agoI normally use wetransfer.com for this purpose. I'm wondering what makes this solution better (it is certainly not the size of the availability time-window :)
- pliu 11y agoThis is cool. You can even use curl: "curl https://www.10minutestorage.com/api/room/create/" https://www.10minutestorage.com/api/room/create/" to create a room "curl -X POST -F "files[]=@pizza.jpg" https://www.10minutestorage.com/api/file/upload/my.room.name" https://www.10minutestorage.com/api/file/upload/my.room.name... to upload a file "curl https://www.10minutestorage.com/api/file/download/file_hash https://www.10minutestorage.com/api/file/download/file_hash -o pizza.jpg" to download a file Handy!
- atrilumen 11y agoI noticed that AWS Lambda increased the maximum function timeout (from one minute) to five minutes. Maybe that'd make it a good platform for (something like) 5MinuteStorage. Store a file only in memory, allow a specified number of downloads within five minutes.
- dweinus 11y agoI'm curious what method is being used for generating the words. I played around with humanhash a while back for similar purposes.
