It is no secret that many users of file-sharing websites use them for harmful files or files that contain violations. This necessitates investigation and review of the contents of uploaded files. Therefore, if the questioner can exert effort in monitoring the files and deleting what needs to be deleted, then there is no harm in creating such a website. However, caution and piety lie in not creating it.
