Upload a file to to file.io with an expiration (requires jq to be installed)
#!/bin/bash

echo "$1"

RESPONSE=`curl -F "file=@$1" https://file.io/?expires="$2"`
LINK=`echo "$RESPONSE" | jq '.link'`
LEN=${#LINK}
SUBSTR_LEN=($LEN-2)
LINK=${LINK:1:${SUBSTR_LEN}}
echo "Download link: $LINK"
exit

Usage:
./temp-upload.sh /path/to/file/you/want/to.upload 2d

The 2d part means the link will expire after two days. You can also do "w" for weeks and "m" for months. There is no option (that I know of) with file.io to do minutes or hours or seconds.
