  Ditto. Been using it for years to transfer very large files to friends when throwing them up on my webserver will be too slow.

    I found this quite uncomfortable to read because of the complete lack of capitalisation - it's a very odd choice.

      Definitely. Who writes like that and expects to be taken seriously?

I've used https://file.pizza https://file.pizza a bunch before, only because of the memorable name

  It was useless for large files when I tried it, at least on Firefox. It seemed to be trying to pull the entire file into RAM.

    As someone who's been working on a file upload service for a while, this is the only real way to download very large files on Firefox. The file system access API is a great way to write chunks of a file at a gime, but for now Firefox doesn't support it https://wicg.github.io/file-system-access/ https://wicg.github.io/file-system-access/ https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/#native-file-system https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/#native-file-s...

      That makes sense, and their reasoning looks sound. Here's hoping the file read/write parts get broken apart from the rest. Thanks for the link.

        It makes me uninterested in Firefox. I want webapps to be able to talk to files, but Mozilla thinks it's too dangerous. Even though we already have APIs to talk to the local filesystem, & the main difference is this one isnt hideously slow. This issue is one of those that when people are screaming, why are folks using chrome, why haven't we all switched to Firefox I point to and say, because I want a good web, I want a fast web, I want a featureful web, and Mozilla definitely does not share my priorities.
