I get that, it's just a pain to upload the same file multiple times to send it to more than one person :/

I really hope Mozilla decides to expand on this.

One issue with the experiment is it has such a narrow use case. Disappearing after one download / 24hrs makes sending a file to multiple people--or just one person who drags their feet on the DL-- makes it really inconvenient to use. Even offering "1 download -OR- 24hrs" would make it far more useful.

Or better yet, Rambox ;)
