What Hacker News says
5 sources> but I didn't see any mechanism for periodically purging expired files or anything like that. (...) should I just set up a cron job or something to delete all files in that directory older than a week?
You're right. Expired files that don't reach their download limit are kept on the server. Due to implementation details there is no 'nice' way to do this from Send itself. If using S3 as storage you can configure a LifeCycle Policy, if using raw disk storage you can set up a cron.
See an example here: https://github.com/timvisee/send-docker-compose/blob/master/...
All uploaded files have a prefixed number which defines the lifetime in days (e.g.: `7-abcdefg` for 7 days expiry). So you can be a little smarter with cleaning up.
I should describe this clearly in documentation.
In Send: A Fork of Mozilla's Firefox SendGood question. I don't have very good reasoning for it, and I haven't put it there. I might need to remove it.
Someone asked this before, here is my answer (bottom quote): https://github.com/timvisee/send-docker-compose/issues/3#iss...

In Send: A Fork of Mozilla's Firefox SendIt's rather simple actually. Currently hosting it on a clean DigitalOcean droplet with an additional disk, which has been running for ~2 months now.
It runs Send in Docker. I set up this configuration for it:
