Really cool, but I am not sure how this site is going to have a different future to the others. It has no ads, it's free, it offers direct linking -- how're you going to make money to sustain yourself?

I was thinking about displaying a full background image ad (a wetransfer like ad) on the home.

  So you have to click on the ad to select a file? Or would it support drag and drop only?

    Nope, the ad would be the background and there would be a upload zone in the center.

  There's no money in advertising to uploaders, the only money in this is advertising to the recipients. That's a lesson it took me an embarrassingly long time to learn.

That's exactly how imgur started though.

  Imgur had a partnership with a CDN, this guy is just hosting it on an OVH box.

  imgur filled a needed gap at the time and helped millions of Reddit users. I think drp.io would need a similar circumstance.
