    I guess I get to have a little chuckle over this one. I have terabytes of stuff stored on the archive, but I have no account or password there haha! Pretty neat what one can do with the snapshot feature.

    For real though, that sucks for everyone with an account.

      Wait really?!

      I never really thought about it I guess - I’ve got a bunch of stuff I’m archiving locally that I always felt like it’d be a shame if it disappeared. Would be nice to have a real place for it.

        My method is a bit cumbersome, but basically you upload the file to one of the temporary file sharing sites, then get and copy the full download link, but don’t actually download it.

        Take the copied full link, and use the archive’s snapshot feature. Your mileage may vary, not all temp sharing sites allow archiving.

        I got a whole filesystem going on the archive, no account. Outlinks are almost easy peasy. Just archive a ZIP file that contains an HTML file with your own directory of links.

        I never claimed to be a normal archivist, but as long as I can avoid it, I’m not gonna create an account.
