Pink Jeepney vs FileShot
FileShot keeps a file close. Pink Jeepney is trying to let it leave.

The upload is the easy part. Everyone can build an upload. The product is what the file does after that.
FileShot is one of the smaller browser booths. Upload, link, leave. The personality is the lack of one.
What FileShot is actually for
No lecture. No ecosystem. A file goes.
If the file only needed one trip, a home for it is a strange gift.
Treat the size cap as whatever the homepage says when you open it. Small tools move the number.
If there is a paid switch, it buys room, not a worldview.
Where it gets awkward
No brand, no memory, no one who will still be there when the link fails on a Friday.
The numbers, side by side
| Pink Jeepney | FileShot | |
|---|---|---|
| Free size | 2 GB | Look at the homepage |
| Free expiry | 7 days | Look at the homepage |
| Account to send | No | No |
| Password | Paid plans | Varies |
| The top end | 250 GB on Business | Varies |
Read the row you care about and ignore the rest. Most people only have one complaint. Size, or time, or the account.
What I would do
I would stay with FileShot if you need a no-name booth for a file that does not deserve a relationship.
I would use Pink Jeepney when I want a delivery with a checkout: one link, a sentence on the ticket, a zip if I sent a pile, and a burn switch if one download should be the end. Free is 2 GB for 7 days, three times a month. Past that the plans are $9, $24, and $59.
If you will still want the file in their account next year, you wanted a drive. If you wanted it gone after they took it, you wanted a transfer.
