Can't you access it via VPN?
Try this https://uplovd.com 20 GB filesize limit and unlimited bandwidth.
It's not all that convenient.
Srsly, so you use a vpn tp upload a file, and whoever wants to dl it, needs another vpn.
True, and it may not be possible for everyone to install the VPN say on a mobile phone...and explaining a VPN/ asking them to download and install and configure in 10 different languages makes it more complicated.
Not impossible, a simple VPN app is a solution and many of them are free, specially Windscribe and Hotspot shield.
Free is the least of the issues unfortunately. Topic for a different discussion, but thanks!
it's not convenient to have everyone use a vpn when you what to share files
it's easier to ask for an alternative app that generates links anyone can download without a vpn
I use firefox send op
I've used Firefox Send in the past and it worked just fine. Don't know how it works in India but they use Amazon S3 afaik.
Funny thing is Firefox Send doesn't work in their privacy focused android browser Firefox Focus.
Setup your own psi transfer server.
You could use FireFox Send. I personally just upload files on Wasabi/BunnyCDN storage and send the link
Time someone created a Torrent based file sharing service for the browser, if that doesn't already exist.
I can suggest Sendgb.com Other services slow or very limited. Sendgb is Europen service. Also you can keep your files up to 1 year without sign up.
