Zippyshare.com is a temporary file sharing website. (It was "permanent" if uploads/file had enough activity.) In 2023-03-19, it was announced that it would shut down in 2023-03-31. In a post titled "Inofrmation about the closure of the project" it was stated that the site would shut down due to being an old/old-style website, being less popular, being ad-blocked, and not being able to pay for stuff like electricity.
www.zippyshare.com is excluded from the Wayback Machine, so https://archive.ph/www.zippyshare.com is one source which can be used to discover files and accounts such as https://www.zippyshare.com/jillem (182 pages of uploads, all alive as of writing this).
Zippyshare began in 2006. ZippyShare "outlived many similar websites, such as RapidShare, Hotfile, and Megaupload."[1]
