some websites will save the file name when you upload a file. it could be done for privacy reasons if you don’t want a website to know how you got a file. this is the best reason i can think of for randomizing file names, but i don’t actually do this in practice. sometimes i’ll just rename the file before uploading if im worried about it. file names are just too useful.
