🕑 Added 2022-01-03 01:24:29 +0000 UTCI want to apologize because once again the links aren't working again. They were earlier but I guess with the number of people that access it at once it gets banned by dropbox.
I don't know what to do. I reuploaded all my work that took half a day to do. Slowed my crap down a lot with all the bandwidth it took to upload my work again. Made a new account specifically for this. Upgraded to a damn Business account for this so I'm paying a lot for something that is giving me so much f'ing problems. Always a headache with them as of late. It used to be so easy for what I wanted it to do but I think growing more and more creates more issues. From what I am told, I am only allotted a certain amount of bandwidth. No matter what plan I choose there is a limit to how many downloads or bandwidth it generates. If any is reached it bans the link for a day. Every time it does this the ban period is lengthed.
Right now I am fed up with this. I will not do a mega, or google drive, I will only be banned there quickly. It would be a waste of my time and bandwidth to upload there only for it to be taken down in a week. I've tried several years back.
This was reward was supposed to be so that it would be easy to find the work you wanted. But it is anything but easy as of now. I might have to remove this reward forever if it isn't resolved.
That or I might have to shift the access to only that specific month of content like many others are doing. After that, access to that content will not be accessible. With that, I won't have to deal with dropbox anymore and use a site like Catbox.
I will be ignoring DMs on the matter that relates to links being down. Read this or I'm ignoring you.
Again I apologize.

I did, I get banned quickly. Someone had to have been reporting it would seem.

Mega usually doesn't have that issue, other creators seem to have no issue with it.

Ive always greatly appreciated the drop box thing you did for this patreon when it worked. Its just so dang convenient compared to the obnoxious monthly pack thing that so many other people do. However if you cant do it anymore because of all the issues I certainly understand.

Have you considered having a code activated archive page on your site?

I hear good things about gumroad as well

The most successful thing I've seen from artists is to use gumroad codes. Same hosting for selling art, and your patrons can have it in a library that they can re-download from if need be. Also, since it uses a point of sale system you can track when someone is using a code they didn't earn.
Sorry. I am brand new (litterally joined a few hours ago) but that sux. There are other options, though the only big one I can think of is One Drive and that is a bad choice for many reasons. Um, there is an older Godaddy product called OnlineFileFolder, but it only does up to 100gb of storage and I don't know if you can buy it anymore if you don't already own it

Sadly, I already said why I won't use it. I used that for a while only to be banned without an option to appeal.
You should check out Mega.nz. It's another cloud storage with sharing features, I use it a lot for my stuff. It might be a bit more accommodating. Also, it has fantastic encryption, so, that's a thing too
Andava
I did. I named them and why I will not use them.

Maybe you gotta try a different site then.

I am sorry they are giving you such troubles. I don't know a solution but I want you to know we understand that it isn't your fault.
