Would you use a static content hosting service?

Like imgur but for pdfs, json, txt, csv, (and images ofc) etc.?

If you could host pdfs, json/csv/txt files, or images on a static content hosting service available at a (hard to guess) public URL, would you?

Use cases for such a service:

  1. Easily share your resume (pdf/doc) with recruiters. Just send them the link!
  2. Read config files (json) for IoT projects
  3. Read config data (json/csv/txt) for SPAs or web apps
  4. Sell downloadable digital content (images/video/audio/textual stories) to patrons

    People already do through Dropbox and other services. So: yes :)

      I believe Dropbox, Drive etc are either rate limited or not exactly built for web/app development. Don't quote me on it though.
