Yes! Definitely don't upload any child porn.

Yes! Definitely don’t upload any pictures of your young daughter taking a bath or of your own body if you are a teenager. Those are evil and hurt people.

$12/year for 2GB. Free plans: Dropbox 2GB, OneDrive 5GB, Box 10GB, GDrive 15GB. They all let you generate public read-only links which aren't connected back to your account.

You know what, I literally couldn't give a fuck. I have multiple hosted web storage, google storage, paid-for dropbox etc accounts, as well as reddit and imgur accounts - and the one I use to share stupid images is this one. This was posted here a couple of years back, I liked the pitch, i paid for it. I also enjoy avocado liberally smashed on shit.

I found and posted the email thread where he admitted to not having a paid account. He also managed to get into his account fine (that's how he saw that the data wasn't there), so the stuff about the username isn't accurate either. I can look at payment records, but I've literally never had a single complaint of paid users' data being deleted by accident. I don't think he wants to hurt me (who cares about me or my se…

Eh I'd rather assume the best, he seems like a nice guy.

iCloud has a 50GB plan for $1/mo. OneDrive does 100GB for $2/mo, GDrive for $1.67/mo.

All of which disable sharing for a file if bandwidth usage is too high. That leads to the question. How much bandwidth does imgz stand up to? It says it's "included" so no charges, but quota is not clear. - edit - >No. I don't know. It's not a problem yet. If it becomes a problem, I'll make it your problem, but I think we're gonna be okay. Looks like there's no quota for now.

The bandwidth limit for the aforementioned services is probably higher than when stavros will make it your problem?

Because the customers know that "free" has a cost. That's the reason for this site's creation -- because if you're not the customer, you're the product. Free isn't the alternative that it might seem to be.

That does not answer the question "Then why would I trust him with my credit card"?

You don't need too, I highly doubt he's processing payments himself, not to mention there's a bitcoin option.

That's not porn though, is it? It's just child. I do agree with you though about posting photos of your child/self.

Make sure you use https://pypi.org/project/imgz_cli/ , I love it: 02:07:53 $ imgz uruav-dji-fpv-porturuav-dji-fpv-port02.jpg Page URL: https://imgz.org/i32hJdL8/ Image URL: https://imgz.org/i32hJdL8.jpg So nice.

Is there ShareX code?

That's a bit of a liberal retelling. You had a free account, the system sends you one (or two, I forget) emails if your free account is inactive, and if you don't log in for a few months it deletes the data to make room for others. There was a period where I didn't keep backups of the data on free accounts, but people complained, so I added that. I think it's a bit unfair to expect me to keep account data around fore…

The fact that you are putting customer chats in public forum without their consent is just terrible.

It's absolutely fair game to post customer chats/emails that contradict a false and damaging narrative. Maybe the OP misremembered, maybe the OP has an axe to grind, either way the issue is firmly resolved now.

Strike while the iron is hot I guess, but not sure why you you are being such an ass in your copy, it's kind of a turn off, even if it is super cheap. Maybe it's a trend where if something is super cheap people tend to write in that style, but it kind of erodes trust, unless this is supposed to be a joke site, but the fact that I don't know really hurts your chance to actually get users to want to give you their emai…

It's hilarious, and befitting what appears to be basically a personal project that accepts money and provides services as part of its schtick. Not everything on the internet has to be glossy and professional and trustworthy and inviting. It's ok to have fun.
