Any other file host. They are all more or less just as likely to get taken down eventually.
Or you go the Cloud storage/Premium way and choose Gdrive, Dropbox, box..
Google drive and dropbox, doesnt provide remote upload.
And if I remote upload to filesmonster then what if both of them (1fichier and filesmonster) would taken down in the future?
Get a vps/dedicated server with lots of storage and install https://codecanyon.net/item/veno-file-manager-host-and-share-files/6114247 . It worked great for me in the past, is a self hosted file hosting solution and allows remote upload.
Yep. Thats a good idea.
Looks nice but then one has to consider the cost of the license as well.
@filelover: You're right, there are no guarantees about the long-term existence of 1fichier, even if they've been around for a while. The cheapest alternative would be roll your own with a storage VPS. If it's just a question of backup, there are many tools available for this.
The license is a one time Investition though :P
Yeah, okay, :-) but email support is only for 6 months. If a later update breaks something and you have a question, who do you ask?
This said, it looks pretty nice, and could be a good solution for some people.
(By the way, it seems to me that a lot of the functionality of this file hosting software is available in Nextcloud/ownCloud, which is another possibility for @filelover.)
Can't remember that I needed the support except initially. I didn't even always upgrade to the latest version as I was happy with the old feature set and considered its' security to be alright, too. Consider that on a vps/server you can also harden security yourself quite a bit :P
Your data will be lost.
