If aiming for widely useable services the services will need to be
rather generic (hardly surprising). As such Foodle is quite popular.
And unless you'e running a Filesender instance yourself (seems you do,
anyway) FUNET has exposed its own via eduGAIN, which might be an
option at least for institutions well-connected to GEANT.

But just as there is no one "killer service" for all federations (if
there were such they were rather unique to each federation, from
elearning platforms to video conferencing) there is no expectation
that there will be one for eduGAIN.

Even if a services existed that "everyone" wanted (say, large library
content providers) exposing it only via eduGAIN will likely not be an
option, as federations will want (or be requested) to offer that to
non-eduGAIN-participating members as well.
