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?

  Google photos. Google drive. OneDrive. Dropbox.

    Is Google drive free? I’ve avoided it because it seemed like it had a low free limit.

      I think it actually has the biggest free tier, except for mega which has 50GB I think

    Good list, but don’t forget Box.com

    Also, I prefer Vimeo for personal videos. But they also have upload limits.

  Pick a Pixelfed instance

    I wish the people downvoting would explain why. I’m not familiar with pixelfed.

      People are probably downvoting because Pixelfed is meant to be a community platform, not a file host. Using it to dump large files onto without ever expecting to engage in the community is using up somebody else's resources selfishly, making Pixelfed a poor choice for your stated purposes.

      Pixelfed is fediverse alternative to Instagram.

    Does this keep them private, and accessible by URL to friends and family who don’t have accounts?

    I assume if OP is sharing videos to friends and family they don’t want them public, and of course they won’t want all those friends and family to have to sign up for accounts just to be able to view them.

      You can upload something and mark it “unlisted” so that only those who have the URL (and obviously the admins) can see the videos.

  You can share on Google photos (it does video too) and you can send it to people without accounts I think

  mega.nz has 20GB limit on free

    Might be a good choice, thanks

  Maybe not quite on the spot, but a Storage Share (hosted nextclous) from Hetzner might be an option.

  Bonus features and info: You can also share other files, location, calendars, contacts etc. They have a compliant data protection agreement, so fully GDPR compliant.

  Hetzner Storage Share: www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share

  Telegram. Set up a Telegram group, upload the videos there. Have full control over who sees the videos.

  • photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Don’t use Telegram.

      Why?

    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.

    Looks like I have some choices to poke into - haven’t heard of either one.

  PeerTube might be good

  If you’re not really into the fediverse thing, try Vimeo or something, you know, just as an archive of your personal stuff or something

  Odysee is a FOSS video hosting site built like YouTube.

  • Maven@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Unfortunately it’s also a hotspot for right wing conspiracy theories and racism. I tried it for awhile and was completely baffled by what they allowed.

    At one point they updated their terms of service to ban racism and it was the most disliked community post they’d ever made.

    It’s been like a year tho so maybe it’s better now

    • Unsustainable@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’ve never seen any of that. I would assume you’d have to go looking to find it. I just subscribe to comedy and tech channels. They’re pretty much the same channels I subscribe to on YouTube. I just try to use alternatives to YouTube whenever I can.

      It’s sadly the same. Odysee has become an alt-right cesspool with people actively trying to fight science and research.

  Not quite the question, but depending on how exactly you want to share, you could just enable a web server on one of your devices, forward a port, and host it yourself until they have the files.

  • AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Hmmm, an option. I’ll think about that one.

  Dailymotion maybe ?
