Pink Jeepney vs Terashare
Terashare 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.
Terashare is a peer-to-peer send. The file wants to move from your machine to theirs, not sit in a warehouse with your name on it.
What Terashare is actually for
Direct is a real answer to “please don’t keep a copy.”
If the file only needed one trip, a home for it is a strange gift.
No account, browser-based, built for large files. The limit is practical: both sides need to stay online enough for the pipe to finish.
It is not a subscription costume. You are not buying a brand page.
Where it gets awkward
If your laptop sleeps, the transfer sleeps. Clients do not want a job that depends on your lid staying open.
The numbers, side by side
| Pink Jeepney | Terashare | |
|---|---|---|
| Free size | 2 GB | Large, if both stay online |
| Free expiry | 7 days | While the pipe is open |
| Account to send | No | No |
| Password | Paid plans | The direct path |
| The top end | 250 GB on Business | Both computers |
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 Terashare if both people are at their computers and you do not want the file stored on the way.
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.
