24 alternatives to I made read receipts for file sharing
Hey HN, I built SendFast (https://sendfast.app) because I was tired of clunky urls, and not knowing when my files are viewed. Google Drive links are long and annoying, WeTransfer has ads and expirations, and most alternatives don’t tell you if someone actually opened your file. With SendFast: - You upload and share files up to 32GB - Get notifications when someone views or downloads your file (no more “Did you get my email?”) - Recipients don’t need an account & can preview files (images/videos/pdf) instantly without ads - Links won’t expire as long as you need them [also…

Hirosend▲90I built Hirosend because I needed a fast and secure way to send files to clients without asking them to create accounts or navigate permission screens. Dropbox/Drive were too heavy for one-off transfers, WeTransfer felt clunky for quick sends, and I really missed the simplicity Firefox Send had before it shut down. Hirosend lets you upload a file, set expiration, add an optional password, or generate a one-time magic link. Recipients just click and download — no signup required on their side. Files are encrypted before being stored and automatically deleted after expiration. There are…

Bookmarks which you wanted to read, but simply forgot... It happened to me all the time. I bookmarked the articles to read later and simply forgot about them. Forever.

WetoDrive▲10Hey HN I’m excited to share WeToDrive (https://wetodrive.com) a tool I built to solve a practical pain point I kept encountering: whenever someone sent me a WeTransfer link, I had to download the files locally and then upload them to Google Drive. That’s two steps and sometimes clunky (slow, uses local disk, duplicates, manual). With WeToDrive, you paste a WeTransfer link and the files get saved directly into your Google Drive. No local download, no extra storage needed on your machine. What you can do right away: Paste a WeTransfer link Grant access via OAuth to your Google Drive…

Hey HN, I built this to scratch an itch I had around what can be done solely using the URL. It's very minimal with no storage involved, and your files can even be encrypted. The only caveat is some platforms wont allow you to post long links. I thought about using a URL shortener, but storing and mapping URLs kind of defeats the purpose. However most browsers do allow you to open them once you have them. For instance I was able to "share" a 10MB file using safari, however 350KB seems to be the max for Chrome.
