True! Also like one commenter said on the original article, if I have to share a file with 3 users, I will have to upload it 3 times and also there's the case of failed downloads.

Not sure if this is viable.

Why are jumping from imagining a specific use case (1:N file share) failing (with little evidence that the product doesn't/can never recover from failures seamlessly) to calling into question the entire product?

Give the product a chance, imho.

According to yesterday's discussion they do have problems with handling failed downloads, they might want to fix that.

But if they would handle 1:N file sharing, they would risk being attractive to a lot of users they don't want (mostly those distributing in a copyright-infringing way)

If you were sending a 3 file to 3 people, just use WeTransfer
