Snapchat for File Sharing

How about this: simple & secure secure sharing of files which disappear once downloaded.

The idea is this - when I share files via dropbox etc, I can create links that expire after [x] days, etc, but what if I just want to send someone a file and make sure that once the recipient has downloaded it, the file will get deleted straight away. This way I won't have to worry about having links out there for longer than necessary.

Anyway, just a random idea that I had. Probably already exists. What do you think?

    Isn't that exactly the same as Firefox Send?

    But they shut it down, so you might want to consider the implications of a service like this.

      I hadn't come across Firefox Send... will do a bit of digging. Thanks a lot!
