Back in the day when @gmail was famous for their massive free storage for email, ppl wrote scripts to chunk large files and store them as email attachments.
People did this on AOL in the 90s as well!

Just gotta add some good 'ol steganography
This brings up an interesting question: what is the upper-bound of hidden data density using video steganography? E.g. how much extra data can you add before noticeable degradation? It's interesting because it requires both a detailed understanding of video encoding and also understanding of human perception of video.

#85Turns out any site that allows users to submit and retrieve data can be abused in the same way: - FacebookDrive: "Store files as base64 facebook posts" - TwitterDrive: "Store files as base64 tweets" - SoundCloudDrive: "Store files as mp3 audio" - WikipediaDrive: "Store files in wikipedia article histories"

My friends and I had a joke called NSABox. It would send data around using words that would attract the attention of the NSA, and you could submit a FOIA request to recover the data. I always found it amusing.
It's called `M-x spook'. It inserts random gibberish that NSA and the Echelon project would've supposedly picked up back in the 90s.

I've heard of the loic ion cannon dos tool described as a shortcut to getting sent to jail. This sounds similar.
