Built https://securesha.re/ a few years back, it is:

Secure (browser-encrypted) dumb file storage with self-destruct. By default, it self-destructs on first access. The server can't read your files and it will delete them anyway after a week (or less, if you like).

It's a good way to quickly send a file to someone else and to know if it's been accessed in the interim.

It was really just our own attempt to build something that can do very simple secure file sharing that anyone can use, as an alternative to so many broken practices (such as clearnet emailing sensitive docs).

It's turned into something pretty cool for a few reasons:

1. We get emails all the time from people who love how simple it is

2. It's a great testbed for new web technologies; I rebuilt it once using Polymer and intend to rebuild using Elm when I have the time

3. It's a great testbed for web crypto & webworkers.
