I wrote a short story, 1700 words. Where can I upload it so that it can be downloaded for a long time? (so often I get "file not found" for older uploads on free file sharing hosts.) I think I've seen some pretty old files hosted on rghost and they were still "up"... but I hear that server goes down a lot. Google code and pastebin posts seem to last forever but I don't think that's the right answer... I don't want to put it on my church's server and I don't want to serve the file from my home pc. I guess I could post the text on my Facebook page, but then only Facebook members can see it, right? OH, maybe I could put it in my Dropbox! Any better ideas?
I have a free Zetaboards account ( actually several ) which is a forum which allows attachments, 200k per file. Your 1700 word .txt file should be no where near that. Anyway, I hotlink to the actual file I want to display. It used to work great here but a few months ago Admin made a change to only allow https, so I can do links but can not embed. An example is this jewel. http://b2.ifrm.com/309/115/0/p705187/Old_and_stupid.png Or in your case it would be more like http://b2.ifrm.com/309/115/0/p705695/TP_Patch.txt Edit to add: that board was created Apr 7 2009, 02:46 PM
I think Dropbox or Onedrive would be best, but if you have Gmail you can email it to yourself and archive it.
For images, Photobucket is one of the worst! You will be lucky to get a few months before it gets deleted/disabled... I suspect TinyPic is owned by the same one who owns Photobucket... For file hosting, I dunno, I wouldn't be surprised if some randomly disable files... Be wary of ones with mal-ads!
