What is an upload?

In MicroBin, an upload can be:

• A text that you want to paste from one machine to another, e.g. some code,
• Files that you want to share, e.g. a video that is too large for Discord, a zip with a code project in it or an image,
• A URL redirection.

When is MicroBin useful?

You can use MicroBin:

• To send long texts to other people,
• To send large files to other people,
• To share secrets or sensitive documents securely,
• As a URL shortener/redirect service,
• To serve content on the web, eg . configuration files for testing, images, or any other file content using the Raw functionality,
• To move files between your desktop and a server you access from the console,
• As a "postbox" service where people can upload their files or texts, but they cannot see or remove what others sent you,
• Or even to take quick notes.
