Comment on $ cat ~/myfile | curl -X PUT --upload-file “-” https://transfer.sh/myfile.txt

Regarding their tagline: “Easy file sharing from the command line”, this is also possible with Yandex Disk¹ (specifically, the Linux version here²). It also has less limitations than transfer.sh, specifically:

• 10 GB of space for free (with a 10 GB filesize limitation³) over transfer.sh’s 5 GB

• no file expiration date, unlike transfer.sh’s 14-day expiration

I built an R library for working with the b2 API:

It's on CRAN too, but the GitHub version has some updates.

This library should allow complete interaction with b2 for uploading, downloading and manipulating files from within R.

Yeah, but the thing is that with transfer.sh you don't have to install any applications on your machine. And if you look at the code, you'll see that the max size isn't being enforced.
