I have gone back to sharing zip files on my own server after decades of using other services, cos they are so enshittified and gated now.

The mere simple act of wanting to share music privately is impossible without some BS issue (people having to login, premium needed to share, etc).

Bandcamp - need premium to share private albums, Soundcloud others have to jump through hoops to login, etc.

I mean how do folks share demos and collab tracks nowadays? Dropbox? (same issue, you need to login etc).

I just want a free Soundcloud style player with a folder of tracks I can send the link privately to others without it needing to be public or others needing to login or pay!

Only one I've not checked recently but seemed to constantly want me to go premium/upgrade is Mediafire, maybe that still allows private share but doubtful it will remain to do that if it still does....

The mediafire cookie pop-up is hell. They have like a thousand companies where you have to manually unelected accept

I had to download a bunch of files from my old mediafire account. Apparently they don't have a desktop client anymore, and the free tier does not allow bulk downloads.

To circumvent, I found this app called Air Explorer that connects to various cloud services through their API and can download / sync files in between and to your local.

Works nicely on Win and Mac, in case you need to download some files from cloud services that don't have a sync client.

#India bans following messaging apps because they think terrorists use them: #Element, #Wickrme, #Mediafire, #Briar, #BChat, #Nandbox, #Conion, #IMO and #Zangi

I do not know half the apps listed above but Element too? It is just a Matrix client 🤷‍♂️
