For a case when file sharing is intended between individuals or small groups there's an easy solution:

Anyone who got the link should be able to delete the file.

This should deter one from using the file sharing tool as free hosting for possibly bad content. One can also build a bot that deletes every file found on public internet.

That then ruins perfectly valid use cases that someone could maliciously delete the file for.

But it allows sending. That might be an okay tradeoff, depending on what you're aiming for.

Anonymous file hosting isn't something I'd be keen to offer, given the nhmber of people who would happily just abuse it.
