I have searched and can not find a suitable free (or inexpensive) online file hosting service that provides direct links.
I used to use Dropbox then they started blocking my links because of false positives.
So I started using Google Drive. Now they started the same thing.
I submit false positive reports but these antivirus companies are not responding to my false positive reports. Baidu, Cylance, Endgame, Jiangmin
So, getting a clean report from VirusTotal is impossible.
Requirements for online storage...
Free or less the $60 a year.
Direct links
no time limit for hosting (some delete for non activity and a specific amount of time)
thanks

Re: Direct links file storage
@DataLife, I've been pretty happy with SugarSync for some time. They give a 30 day free trial, so maybe it would be worth a try. I'm only paying $60 a year now, but I think I'm grandfathered in. It might be more now, I haven't checked.

Re: Direct links file storage
I think hosting your projects should be done on GitHub.
It's free and additionally gives you version control.
While direct link storages don't really care for single developers GitHub and similar services will try to defend against false positives - at least I would think that way.

Re: Direct links file storage
@DataLife, glad you had good luck with OneDrive. I had really not even considered it, and have no good reason for not doing so, since it's free.

I wrote a program that requires a paid registration.
At the moment it does not generate enough money to pay very much for online storage.

Re: Direct links file storage
Afaik it has to be opensource on GH, there is no reason you can't sell your own opensource program so that is an option.
Apart from cheap website hosting (dream host, blue host, weebly?) perhaps something like mediafire which allows direct links if you used the paid service - 3.75US$ a month at the moment.

Also I'm surprised Google was doing you like that. I never had them block any of my links, but it does seem that once they target someone, it's like they put them on a blacklist.

Re: Direct links file storage
You don't have to install anything on your computer. From your Yandex account, you can create a download link to the file. You then can give others that link, similar to how Google Drive works.DataLife wrote:What Yandex calls a direct link is not what I call a direct link.

Not sure about the web page, whether that's old documentation or something that just recently started. When using Yandex before, didn't get a web page, just the usual download for the file.

Yes the bears direct link works properly.
I read how yandex says to get the direct link but I do not understand.
"send the API"
"Get method"
Can you explain how you created the bears direct link?
thanks

Re: Direct links file storage
If you need the capability of direct linking plus total control, you can just rent a cheap VPS (<- ref link) and setup a simple FTP (for example ftp://sub.domain.com/dir/file.txt)
Or if you just need a temporary solution, you can get some sort of free diskspace from https://www.000webhost.com/
Edit:
Or if you still want to use Yandex Disk, you can follow these steps:

Re: Direct links file storage
@DataLife, I downloaded and installed the Python program "yadisk-direct" from this GitHub link, which is also in the post above. I used it to create the link.
The instructions are on that website. It is extremely easy to do (somewhat easier, perhaps, at least if you're just creating a URL for downloads, than using @tomoe_uhara's very nice script above).
In my case, I just ran the following from the command line to get the link for your jpg:
Open bears.txt, and the URL is inside.
If you have curl installed, according to the website you could do the following creating and downloading the link with one line:
(I haven't tried it yet, but I will. I don't see any reason it shouldn't work). Edit: Haven't gotten the curl command to work yet.
