Instead of a direct file upload on our website, we use a specialized, secure third-party form (Typeform) to handle submissions. This is a deliberate choice to provide several key benefits:
Enhanced Security & Malware Prevention
By using a dedicated service, we add a crucial layer of security. This helps prevent the misuse of our service for distributing malicious files (like viruses or malware), protecting both the file recipient and our platform.
Infrastructure & Reliability
Handling large file uploads requires significant server resources. Using an external service allows us to keep our own infrastructure small and efficient, which is how we can offer a generous free service. This ensures reliability and speed without passing heavy costs on to you.
Focusing on Our Core MVP
As an early-stage product, this approach allows us to focus on the core user experience. We're testing the waters to see if a simple, secure file-drop service is what people need before we build a fully integrated backend.
