Comment on I have 90+ very short videos (around two or three minutes each) that I'd like to share with some family and friends. Is there a good free place to host them?

  Don’t use Telegram.

    Why?

      Russian bots and disinformation, shady business practices, hosting on Tencent servers, etc.

        Those are definitely issues, but are they really a problem for what OP wants to do?

  How does this work if the friends and family don’t use that particular instant messenger, or have a smartphone (don’t forget that many older people have simple phones or use them in simple ways, and a PC)?

  Can they access the photos and videos with external links? If so, that sounds reasonable. Assuming OP is able to transfer the photos and videos to their phone for this too, I think telegram is just a phone application but I’m not entirely sure.
