Show HN: One-click file sharing. No waiting for upload

Simple file transfer for use as a context menu (right-click menu) in the file explorer.

Only two steps in 5 seconds - any file size

1. Right-click on the file you want to send and select the menu 2. Paste (in the body of an email or in a dialog)

I like the idea of making things as simple as they possibly can be, which this appears to do.

After clicking 'Create and Copy Download Link' I'd wonder if the file had uploaded, for example if I were uploading an image or video to share on hn or reddit or whatever I'd want to make sure it's there before providing the link to others. So I guess I'd open the link in a browser to make sure. Even so, I still this this saves time where you're confident the file's small enough that it would upload in the time it takes you to send the link (likely, in a lot of cases) or you don't mind that it might take a little time.

Anyway, I like this idea. Nice work.

Files are uploaded in segments, so recipients can start downloading immediately. In either case, you don't need to worry about whether your file has finished uploading - if it has started uploading, even a 10G file, you can download it immediately. Uploading and downloading can happen at the same time.
