Could you encrypt the file using AES 256, and make it so that I don't need to trust you to keep a copy. So even if you did keep a copy you wouldn't have access to it.

You could encrypt the file on your own system before uploading. I'd feel safer doing it that way. I know this is obvious, but I also need to up my post count.

True but not everyone knows how to decrypt and encrypt. Our community is growing into more and more less techie people. Last week I wanted send a encrypted message to someone using GPG keys, they didn't even know what GPG keys are or anything about it. So it is better if the service does it, it would help out a lot more. For me to use a service like his would be that he can encrypt it, otherwise when even use his service, I could just use encryption and send it in an email or over IRC using DCC.

That is true, you should encrypt your file on your own system and then upload, I should just recommend it. Reply to this and get another post!

The equivalent of snapchat for Dropbox?

I guess.... If you want to look at it like that. Dropbox stores files. I don't. Snapchat is limited to pictures, I am not limited to ANY file including PHP.

Well, I don't know how I would go about doing that with PHP. Any suggestions?

How did you like it?

It is using PHP unlink http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_filesystem_unlink.asp and then using shred - http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_shred.htm to overwrite the file after deletion
