I dug up a bunch of forgotten open-source file-sharing demos and random public instances still lying around. No nerd degrees needed — just drag, drop, done. Here’s the mess:
Who is this for?
For lazy 1Hackers who just want to throw files online without logins, configs, or reading nerd docs.
Why is this awesome?
Because it’s free gigabytes of storage on forgotten demo servers that still work in 2025 — drag, drop, done, and laugh while Big Tech charges idiots monthly fees.
Forgotten File-Sharing (Still Kicking)
Forgotten File-Sharing (Still Kicking)Public Corpses That Somehow Still Work
Filebin.net – The Cockroach of File Sharing
Still alive after all these years. Drag → drop → done. Handles a few GB like nothing. No account, no setup. Files nuke themselves after 6 days, so don’t whine when your stash vanishes. Private unless you go full idiot and leak the link.
0x0.st – Nerd Mode Activated
Think “diet file host.” Max 512MB, hangs around ~30 days. Open site, upload, done. Or if you want to LARP as Mr. Robot:
curl -F'file=@filename' https://0x0.st
Congrats, now you look like a hacker in a Starbucks.
Temp.sh – Transfer.sh Knockoff
Transfer.sh is dead, so this is the bootleg cousin. Toss in 4GB files, they live for 3 days before the cleanup crew deletes them. Works via browser or curl:
curl -F "[email protected]" https://temp.sh/upload
Perfect for dumping files you’ll regret keeping anyway.
ShareDrop.io – “Bro, Send Me That File” Mode
No servers, no storage, no Big Brother. This just beams files directly between devices using WebRTC magic. Basically AirDrop for people too broke for Apple. Perfect for quick local “yo, gimme that” transfers.
ImgBB.com – Free Meme Dump
Upload pics up to 32MB. You get instant links, BBCode, and HTML thumbnails. Drag → drop → done. No signup needed unless you’re paranoid about your memes being deleted.
PostImages.org – Forum Grandpa’s Heaven
Unlimited image uploads per post. Zero “inactive account” nukes. Everyone on old-school forums loves this because it spits out link formats for every platform imaginable. Basically, the cockroach of forum image hosting.
CubeUpload – No Filter, No Compression
CubeUpload swears on its life it won’t compress or mess with your pics. JPG, PNG, GIF up to 5MB stay exactly as they are. Downside? Guest uploads are dead — gotta register now. Permanent storage though, so your cursed memes will outlive you.
Pomf Clone Networks – Zombie Army
Pomf.cat & Random Clones
Pomf clones are like cockroaches: kill one, three more show up. Pomf.cat works like the OG pomf.se — no signup, direct links. But beware: these things vanish faster than your paycheck, so links may ghost you anytime.
0x80.eu.org – Pomf on Steroids
This one adds some fancy junk: one-click upload, IPFS integration, drag-and-drop, and even ShareX API support for screenshot junkies. Basically, Pomf but with a shiny hat.
Uguu.se – Self-Destructing Files
Uguu keeps it simple: upload anything, it dies in 3 days. Open-source, privacy-friendly, but don’t cry if you hit a 503 error — the site sometimes naps harder than you on Mondays.
Enterprise Instances
File.io – Self-Destruct Mode
Upload → send → gone. File nukes itself after the first download or after the timer runs out. Perfect for one-night stands with data you don’t want hanging around.
EasyUpload.io – Big Boy Uploader
Handles files up to 4GB. Throw in password protection if you’re feeling kinky. Pick how long it survives: 7, 15, 30 days… or never die. Basically WeTransfer’s broke cousin but with fewer rules.
Why These Zombie Demos Still Exist
Because devs are lazy, bored, or just showing off:
- Portfolio flex – “Look mom, I can code” → leviwheatcroft.github
- Testing playgrounds – where they dump unfinished projects → cran.r-project
- Community freebies – hobbyists keeping the lights on → espenbraastad
- Proof-of-concept bait – for potential clients → thingsboard
