What is a file transfer service
A website whose whole job is the parcel.

A file transfer service takes an upload and gives you a link. WeTransfer made the shape famous. A dozen others copied the shape and argued about the numbers: gigabytes, days, accounts, passwords.
The distinction that matters
Pink Jeepney is in that family on purpose. The argument here is that the stay should be short and the page should feel like someone meant it.
It is not a backup. If you need the file next year, keep your own copy. The service was the trip.
