I was wondering if there is any interest in building a ThunderBird FileLink extension for transfer.sh.

hi @marcelstoer , I can see it's pretty trivial to come up with an extension (https://github.com/thundernest/sample-extensions/tree/master/dropbox), at least form the coding point of view.

How ThunderBird extension are distributed?

@stefanbenten do you think that if we write one we should set https://transfer.sh as default server?

Yep, I came to the same conclusion even though JavaScript is not my home turf.

You publish it as a regular TB extension and tag it with filelink. At https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/tag/filelink you then get to see all available FileLink add-ons.

In the TB settings users get to choose and configure their installed FileLink providers.
