I have lost *many* hours over the past few years babysitting WeTransfer uploads/downloads/waiting for links. I'm also a big sucker for fun animations & outer space so I'm looking forward to using this. Nice work. Do you plan on changing the expiration date at all? I'm often sending files to external folks who don't download in 24 hours (I just had someone this week download a WeTransfer 5 days after I sent it to them). I'd love the ability to change to a few options ie 48 hrs, 72 hrs, 5 days, etc.

@garrett_rothstein1 Glad that we'll be able to help you stop babysitting uploads and get that time back for better things! Changing the expiration time is a great feature suggestion. We'll work on it!

This is incredible fast, wow. "Send a file in 2 seconds" was surprisingly not an exaggeration! Love how the link is ready before the upload is finished.

@russelljkaplan Thanks Russell! Speed was our #1 priority. We tried to reduce the number of steps required to get to a share link to the absolute minimum.

Wow I will definitely be using this!

Nice work, perhaps minimizing the box as soon as the files have been dropped for upload; that way we'd enjoy a nice trip into the wormhole

@jadaizarani Yeah, we considered doing that. But we want to get you a share link as quickly as possible. Tradeoffs!

Just tried it out, pretty simple, intuitive and quick. Do you have plans to allow custom or shorter expiry times for data sensitive shares?

@vishal_taneja9 Yes, we plan to support customizing the expiry time!

This is SO helpful! So many times I've struggled with where to upload something. I didn't want to send via e-mail; The sizes are often too large, I don't want strangers with my personal e-mail. Saying "Boom, there's a link, you got 24 hrs." is wonderful. What are the limits for the free tier?

@runtcpip For files up to 5 GB, Wormhole stores your files on our servers for 24 hours. For files larger than 5 GB, Wormhole uses peer-to-peer transfer to send your files directly from your browser to the recipient. So you'll need to keep the page open until the recipient downloads the files.

how about adding something like an instant expire button which lets you expire the link before the 24 hr period? or something like the link expires after the first download! Great tool!

@s4nju That's a great idea. We'll add it to our list of features to build in the coming weeks!

?makers Do you intend to provide an API for website integration allowing users to send encrypted files to the site owner?
Feross Aboukhadijeh

@dick_van_gelder1 That's an interesting use case. Could you send me an email (my first name AT my first name DOT org) with more information about what you'd like us to build for this use case?
