An anonymous WeTransfer alternative for quick file sharing — no email, no account, no stored files.
WeTransfer is great for large files, but its free tier asks for your email and the recipient's, stores your files on its servers for days, and shows ads. For a quick handoff of a smaller file, you should not have to hand over email addresses or wait on an upload to a third-party server.
To be fair: if you need to send multi-gigabyte files, WeTransfer's free 2 GB limit is hard to beat. But if you want to send a file fast, anonymously, with nothing stored, whisperblinks is the simpler choice — share a room code and the file is gone an hour later.

whisperblinks is built for quick, smaller transfers. For multi-gigabyte files, a tool like WeTransfer fits better.
