Perhaps not the best solution out of all. “It had issues during December and January 2025” it might have a problem with uploading not working randomly. Even in August 2025 someone had issues with accessing pillowcase uploads.
Only for audio files (also zip for registered users) - allows playing audio files, shows spectrograms. I’ve met with a case when some files uploaded one by one couldn’t be played or downloaded (HTTP 500 error) at least after some period. For at least 503 error, it was enough to reload on a page the error appeared on to start the download.

It optionally creates not only download link, but also torrent file and seeds it. Optional expiration (with also “never”). “The owner doesn't give a damn about DMCA.” On unstable connections, it might break the download in the middle, forcing to start from scratch. Then you must refrain from using the connection during the download, or potentially using Free Download Manager might fix the issue too. Be aware that the first download click on the site redirects you to advertisement without uBlock Origin, and it might lead to starting downloading malicious files instead. Also, uploading stops on 0% from certain hosts.

Don’t use it. Some providers block the site and its subdomains: “litter.catbox.moe” (domain for downloading files uploaded with litterbox.catbox.moe), and litterbox.catbox.moe (expiring, with up to 1GB file limit) and e.g. not everyone on our server are able to download files from there. Also, not all VPNs work with it. Possible issues: SSL errors, DNS block (then using 108.181.20.36 might work) or IP block (then use VPN, but same issues may occur at times), timeouts, also be aware that deleted files by users or which already went offline have weird old school “404 Not Found nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)" which might be misleading that there’s something wrong with their provider, but it’s just a file being offline. Countries blocking the site: Australia, UK, Ireland, Afghanistan, Iran. Providers: Verizon, Spectrum, Rogers, Quad9 DNS, Comcast/Comcast Business. More

They exist since forever (2006) and probably didn't collapse so far due to nightmarishly slow download speeds (20 or even 50KB/s, can't remember) for at least non-Gold accounts. But links get offline there occasionally too (maybe less frequently than some other services). Registration required.
Unlimited
Only 50MB of downloading for free (even for your own files)
Be aware that it happened in the past, that along years, among very big collection of files, someone had I think some even encrypted private files deleted, but usually only DCMAed files are taken out.
Since around the end of 2023, they started sending PMs to users warning about deleting some of the files on their account, moving them to special folders with deletion date. You can reupload your file after deletion date again. The same action needs to be repeated at least once a year.
Also, the site exists since “forever” (2006), and didn't collapse despite many court cases, probably due to creative changes of owners from specific countries. It can be also used as public sharing disk with points of transfer for downloaded content from your disk.

On some files it will just tell you that servers are overloaded, and the error will last for days, weeks even, and not let you download. So I'd rather refrain from using it. I think I confused it with an issue with gofile I once had.

2GB/file
On the release page of (at least) public repositories, you can upload any files, and also bigger than directly in repositories (e.g. encrypted to avoid any problems - copyrighted content, even one music file in the repository can get taken down after some time).
You can split your archive into parts if necessary.
It’s perfect to use in Colab notebooks. Very reliable and fast.
Huggingface
Lot of big models are stored there nowadays too. Probably there weren’t any problems with their hosting in the past. Prob. 50GB file limit.
We had some issues with slow downloading from there in Colabs in the past, but tons of big datasets are stored there.

One user from my other community had his whole account deleted years ago. It happened after a few file takedowns on his account before. That time he uploaded all music segments, basically assets extracted from a computer game publicly on a forum, and shortly later he was banned. It wasn’t even arranged and ready for a normal release. Probably the publisher was snitching on him for quite some time already.

Google Drive
Big, suddenly popular files can become suddenly either offline or with some other error disappearing later during the day.
Also, it happened in the past that very popular, bigger files started being limited as visible only for the owner due to reaching quota. You could circumvent it by adding the file into your own GDrive (if you had enough space) - not sure if the trick still works.
Google reserves the right to delete the account after 2 years of inactivity. From what I’ve found, they don’t delete accounts which have YouTube account with at least one video uploaded (not sure if it must be online and public). I had a case few times with revoked privileges to some documents on GDoc, which were changed to private without my knowledge. Can’t guarantee if the same cannot happen with GDrive files.

It allows sharing direct links like from FTP or GitHub when you upload file on release page where also bigger files can be uploaded vs 50MB in source files.

Rare DCMAs vs Mega.
Since 2022 difficult registration without a phone, and/or when you use public SMS receiving gate and/or VPN e.g. Russian - they can prevent you from access to a disk right after registration if they detect something suspicious during registration process, after the war they decreased max file size limit to 1GB iirc.
Also, there are very little means to recover your account in case your secret name miraculously get changed, and using new ISP or after long inactivity, you’re asked for it (I had such situation in the past, and IDK how long the files are stored on inactive accounts). Attempts of using automated forms to fill for account recovery are vain (esp. if you don’t know precise account creation dates, didn’t use their email, etc.). Even if you’re logged into their Disk app on the phone, you cannot change any account related information like secret question or password without being redirected to their page and having to log into the account which you forgot the secret question (or it got suspiciously changed; quite honestly - I got it changed either by them after long inactivity of around 2 years, or by some attacker [but it would require secret question]).

Hint. In the case of some free, not very well-known services which can even disappear after some longer period of time (do you remember RapidShare, copy.com, hotfile or megaupload, catshare, freakshare, uploaded.to, fileserve, share-online.biz, odsiebie, hostuje.net?) it’s better to keep your files in more than one service (I recommend 3 copies for important data kept long), or stick to some popular big tech companies which are unlikely to disappear soon (if they don’t take your upload down) or if another war will break out and increasing energy costs will make smaller services unprofitable like not long ago.
Paid:
- You can get 1TB OneDrive with an .edu email
- If you sign up for the Google Workspace (it was called G Suite until recently) version of Google Drive, you can get 1TB for ~$10 USD a month, but here's the thing... I have been way over 1tb for a couple of years now, and they have never charged me anymore. I am over 4tb now and have been for ~3 months, and it is still only ~$10. If you do it, just create a 1 user account and just keep filling it up until they say you need to add more users or pay more.
Well it looks like it is $12 now, but it's for 2tb and maybe that is what they change my plan to and are charging me now too… I thought there was some kind of surcharge and tax (never really paid attention to the exact amount) but guess it is just $12 + tax now...
https://workspace.google.com/pricing.html
It looks like they might have gotten rid of it, but it used to be $50/month for unlimited storage, but I think as long as you do what I do, I think it is probably close to unlimited for $12/month
It's pretending you're in a college and college drives have infinite storage
I used to have one for 1-2 years, but it suddenly got removed, so it's not safe. All the files are gone too, without notice
BTW. For workspace you still need to have your own domain (with the possibility of changing DNS entries, so free ones are out). Yearly cost is negligible, but you have to remember about it.
- Also, if you have ProtonVPN on the Proton Unlimited plan, you get 500GB of storage on Proton Drive for free.
- Also, Google Pixel 1 phones used to have like unlimited or at least bigger GDrive plans iirc (it was withdrawn from later Pixel phones). Some people bought these phones just for the space.
- You can get very cheap 2TB (around 16$) for a year on Google Drive in Lyres (I think they only changed it in methods of payment, not necessarily whole region), but some people say it's better to get it in Brazil due to fewer problems.
I heard it's better to not buy it in Lyres on your main account, because your apps can get regional lock (e.g. Tidal). Some people even had problems with currency in their other accounts, and you can change it only once for a year on an account, and in case of some emergency, you might have to be forced using Revolut cards. There is a lot of misinformation about that promo trick so verify it all, but there should be some reasonable amount of info scattered around the net already (e.g. hotukdeals, pepper.pl, or the site’s German counterpart).
- 50GB on Dropbox from some Galaxy phones (e.g. S3) can no longer be redeemed (since ~2016 I believe)

(for old MDX SDR 9.4 UVR model):
(input audio file on Colab can be max 44kHz and FLAC only).
Original MDX model B was updated and to get the best instrumental - you need to download invert instrumental from Colab.
Model A is 4 stem, so for instrumental, mix it, e.g. in Audacity without vocals stem (import all 3 tracks underneath and render). Isolation might take up to ~1 hour in Colab, but recently it takes below 20 minutes on 3.00 min+ track.
If you want to use it locally (no auto inversion):

https://mvsep.com/
You can choose between MDX A or B, Spleeter 2/4/5 Stems), UnMix 2/4 stems, but output is mp3 only)
New MDX model released by UVR team on mvsep is currently also available. If you have any problems with separating in mobile browser (file type not supported) add for a file additional extension: trackname.flac.flac.
MDX is really worth checking. Even if you have some bleeding, and UVR model cuts some instruments in the background.
CyberWaifu Colab troubleshooting
If you have a problem with noise after a few seconds of the result files, try to use FLAC. After an unsuccessful attempt of isolation, you can try restoring default runtime to default state in options. The bug happened a few days after releasing the Colab suddenly one day and the is prevailing to this day (so WAV no longer works). If you run the first cell to upload, and afterwards after opening file view, one of the 001-00X wav files is distorted (000 after few second) it means it failed, and you need to start over till you get all the files played correctly. But after longer isolation, it may cause reaching GPU limit, and you will not be able to connect with GPU. To fix it, switch to another Google account. If you have a problem, that your stems are too long, and mixed with a different song, restore default runtime settings as well, or delete manually
_________________________________________________________________________
(outdated, deleted feature from HV Colab) Be aware that normalization turned on in Colab for instrumentals achieved with invertion may lead to occurrence of some artifacts during inversion, but general mix quality and snare in the mix might be more loud and sound more proper with normalization on, though it’s not necessarily universal solution in every case when the track might sound a bit off than more flat sound of normalization turned off (at least in some parts of it).
