What is an upload?
In MicroBin, an upload can be:

- A file that you want to share, eg. 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,

- 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.
