There is also Send.Vis.ee, which is a community fork of Firefox Send. It has always worked very well for me personally. There are many public instances available with varying sizes and expiring conditions.

Not much of a point to that. File upload forms are pretty trivial for one, and there already are plenty of good open-source solutions for that (e.g. send or pomf). Your main challenge is going to be finding the disk space/bandwidth for that sort of thing, but anyone with enough resources can already run a zippyshare "clone" with zero issues.

Firefox send at send.fdab.se
1 project | /r/firefox | 14 Aug 2021

Is the instance of send at send.fdab.se an official Firefox instance? I thought Mozilla discontinued the project and the address doesn't look official, yet the website claims to be Firefox Send.
