Ephemeral File, Text or R Data Sharing with ‘file.io’

The ‘file.io’ <file.io> service enables ephemeral, convenient and anonymous file sharing. Methods are provided to upload existing files, R data objects or text messages to this service.

The following functions are implemented:

• fi_post_file: Post a file to file.io
• fi_post_rdata: Post an R object to file.io
• fi_post_text: Post text to file.io
