Hosting recommendations

Hi all,


I am about to start posting again, but I am seeing that bayfiles is not a very reliable host.


In the past I use FileFactory, and some people did not like that host. can I get recommendations please? Bear in mind Google Drive & MegaZ are not suitable and will delete the account with files linked to Pixiv accounts.

Oh OK, then revivedsoul and wide eyes suggestions are good

I've not seen any problems with Proton Drive. It seems to be hassle-free and works well as a file host. Fingers crossed for you! :)

Not sure, it seems as my friend said, they are simply driving away the majority of their content makers like myself, and I don't understand why.

sadly I see this being an issue, but I also am not sure what the workaround for this would be to be honest.

I don't think so, I will take a look.

Discord isn't very secure and I don't want to do anything to potentially cause security issues for my followers.

are you sure? in the past they told me they would not accept my works

you misunderstand. not the platform but the hosting.. subscribestar is not an option for me. They have told me already they won't allow my works on there.

Going to subscribestar is an option

Thats odd of Pixiv, like its so backwards. Dont understand why they doing it, can somone explain? If somone want to upload video and pics, especially likes games, why cant user not download? Dosent make sense. I think he should go over to Subscribestar if Pixiv dumb to this change. Subscribestar also ok with this genre of content.

Anon file, uploead heaven, workupload. If pixiv rejecting hosting would recommend going over to Subscribestar, they are ok with this genre of content.

https://k00.fr has been used by some of the other creators I support. If you're worried about distributing links on this page, I've also seen people use Discord to distribute files as an extra layer of removal from Pixiv, and they distributed invite links via putting it in the Fan Card image visible after you confirm your pledge. This person also remakes their Discord server every month, to ensure that only current pledges have access.

Have you tried GoFile, they seem to be a pretty good host, not sure if they do folders but videos work well on it I know

Just keep in mind as well that Pixiv will now come after you if you host files on external platforms and share it with your supporters. It is now a violation of their increasingly draconian rules as they try (and fail) to weed out bad actors by continually crushing the creativity out of the good natured content creators that made their platform what it is. As a long time supporter I want you to succeed and keep creating.
