Question

There is a specific computer which often generates files that I need to take with me to other machines. However, obvious solutions do not work:

I cannot bring a flash drive or similar physical storage to this computer.
I cannot set up a networked drive (over LAN or WAN) to send the files to another computer.
I cannot run Dropbox on this computer (I don't want this computer to have access to my Dropbox account or uploaded files).
I cannot email the file to myself with a Gmail account because I don't want to login/leave a cookie on this computer.
I cannot upload the file to imgur because I don't want to remember the URL and the file shouldn't be publically available. I'm not looking for tinfoil-hat level security, but imgur is a bit too public.

I need a solution which is simple, relatively reliable, and can handle large-ish TIFF files (a few MB). The solution must not require memorizing a password, or divulging any of my information (such as my accounts) to this machine.

What software/web service can I use for this?

Explanation / Answer

I'd suggest just using the private browsing mode of Chrome (Incognito) or Firefox combined with Gmail or a similar online email service that uses two factor authentication. Then there's very little chance your account will be compromised by someone else using the machine after you, and no cookies will remain after you've closed the private browsing window.
