It was created because of the small attachment limits here on the forum (and on the German forum it's not much better either). And sending by email, putting things on a server, link to, and then remember to delete were a bit complicated in the long run. And also it can be a pain to register with several different file services, that have their own limits and regulations, sometimes don't have a multi-language interface ... far from perfect.

There is no user management though.
Username and password are stored in an ini file for each file - so they don't have to match every time.
In fact username and password are only meant to enable people to filter files for their own, so that they can handle/delete them more easily.
