Ask HN: Where can I host a file for free in 2020?

1 pointsby dzej_bi7 anni fa2 comments

I'd like to host a file somewhere in the cloud and publicly share a link to download it.

1. For free 2. Reliable 3. I want the file to start downloading right after a link is clicked. So that no "download page" shows up in between. All major cloud vendors offering free file sharing (Google Drive, WeTransfer, etc.) show this download page.

It is EXE file, 29MB large.

You can copy the direct download link from Google Drive's download page. For instance:

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1cwRBCm3TbjpYMTVqJBsjfFGtrQ5Z...

I'm sure other providers are similar.

Use a ngrok tunnel. I also had some luck with transfer.sh I believe. Your operating word here is "free".

For a exe, just use github . i know a few projects that host downloads on there.
