    Still, it’s not a file hosting platform. 🤷‍♂️ it should have been temporary to begin with.

        What ? Pretty sure their paid plans only allow uploading larger files. It says nothing about the longevity of said files on their servers

        It shouldn’t have been. That’s their bad—misuse of file hosting is an obvious result of offering file hosting. Manage your own files. Put them on GitHub or something. And if they’re private they shouldn’t be on any cloud to begin with 🤷‍♂️
