I mainly use imgur to upload screenshots using sharex, would appreciate being pointed in the direction of any alternative.

    If you want something very cheap (though not necessarily totally free), and within your control, just get an AWS S3 bucket and put them there. Or possibly Backblaze.

      Yep, I’m gradually shifting to S3 for my public direct file sharing as a bit of an exercise in learning AWS. It’s not free, but 99.99% of the time it’s remarkably cheap. If you’re willing to put up with learning AWS (or any other general-purpose platform really, cloud or self-hosted,) there’s a nice feeling that comes with having more leniency to do things your way and on your terms.

      Now whether it works properly, however, let alone work at all, is an entirely different story. But that’s the double-edged sword with going out on your own: it’s more likely to be your fault, not someone else’s.

      id be pretty psyched if my video embedding starts working one of these days 👨‍💻
