Hello there!
The situation regarding file hosts doesn't get better. Our list of Approved & Recommended File Hosts continues to shrink and temporary outtages or maintenances or bugs make it sometimes feel impossible to upload content. So we wanted to ask you, the users who are the most experienced with uploading (and the guys who reached Simp Council by spamming request threads
), which file hosts you would suggest. Of course there are some criteria that should be met:
No Monetization
If there is a possibility to earn money with downloads you can bet there will be spam, reposts and low quality trash on mass. So this is a big no-go:


No Compression/Loss Of Quality
We strive for the highest technical quality of the content and if a user already posted a compressed file it discourages others to post the source file, be it because of possible reposting or they think the quality is "good enough". Avoid file hosts which mess with the file:

No Temporary Links/Short Lifetime
Uploads on this forum are already targeted by DMCA takedown services, so links shouldn't die on their own. Something like bunkr, 30 days guaranteed and after that based activity, would be nice. This should be avoided:


DMCA Resistance (would be nice)
This is a hard one because there are only a handful of file hosts which ignore DMCA claims. At least don't suggest cowards like gofile or pixeldrain who nuke everything when someone only mentions DMCA.
Accessibility
Streaming videos is obviously more popular than downloading and creating accounts to upload is a turnoff for some people. The upload size is also an important factor, so if split zips due to max file sice could be avoided, that would be nice too.
We hope you have some ideas, and thank you for your input.
