    Thanks for noting the reason for alternative to Mega - and that's a pretty reasonable price. WorkUpLoad is iffy with retention - not sure if they poop-can data after a hard-30 (following initial UL) or if it's 30-days from last download; and If it differs for free / registered users.

    There's other hosting sites as well based on items we've gotten from this forum (people with greater familarity using them might offer insight on this thread).

    As always - thanks to you guys running this site. A lot of moving parts . . . all in effort to providing stuff of interest.

    I don't have any issues with the former but confirm those issues with the latter - edited Post #22 to reflect those observations.

    As stated previously - there's a shite-load of hosting sites out there amongst the International community - some of which actually pop up to harvest data under the guise of "The Cloud" - only to cave-in several months later - so caveat emptor or more appropriately "accipies quae attribuisti" - ya get what ya pay for - - - free is seldom so . . . thus the need for multi-layer pseudo-nyms as related to the likes of this forum . . .

    IOW - I agree with you . . . cheers.gif

    Here's a link to a video on 60 Minutes blabing a piece with Kim Dotcom of Mega-UpLoad way back when his island (file hosting can be a pretty lucrative venture) was invaded and threat of extradition went down . . . an interesting watch . . . https://pluto.tv/us/on-demand/serie...79b/season/3/episode/6467e083f2a541001b8f2cf5

    Another: https://hexload.com/
    Active files remain - non-active get deleted after 30 days - registration not required.

    I've recently been using this as well as an alternative for larger shares - but haven't tested the retention as defined . . . see Post #17 of this thread for my "test" about file retention - most of which have went long beyond the 30-day time frame . . . wink.gif

    Sounds good, I'll give hexupload a try since it can keep it beyond 30 days. Their site looks like its going through some changes though

    I've been pretty successful with using Telegram as a host, no takedowns and stores beyond 30 days.
