The OpenSesame is for sharing files temporarily. If you have some big files that you don't want to host anywhere else, you can spin up OpenSesame to serve those shared files directly from your box using a random path/url, then close it down after the other party have grabbed them. The url is only good for one-time, and will become useless even if it leaked later.
From v1.1.0 and up, uploading is possible too.
