A transfer.sh alternative that stays up
Simple, link-based file sharing like transfer.sh, with a reliable hosted UI, expiry control, download tracking, and API access on Pro.
transfer.sh made curl-based uploads popular but has had reliability and availability issues. EasyFileUpload offers the same simple link-based sharing with a fast web UI, no per-file size limit, and precise expiry control, plus free download tracking, password protection, and API access on the $9/month Pro plan for scripted uploads.
