Thank you, but I appreciate the freedom and the power of open source ;-)
Also, I can't see anything wrong in spending US$10 on something
minimally important, why is it?

LOL.
Remember: free software is about freedom, not price.
Of course "monetary cost" can be and usually is a form of restricting
freedom, but nothing if absolutely free.

There're tons of such utilities already. This is not the problem.
The problem is having to upload several separate files, and then
everyone will have to download the several separate files, and be
subject to the service limits, and then rejoin the files which can be
time-consuming on old systems, and will require the additional hd
space, etc...
