Hi everyone! Just wondering what everyone uses to host VN uploads?
I know IndieDB and itch.io are common. I've used mediafire, dropbox and google drive before as well but I've read that some people don't like them because it doesn't seem as professional.
I'm thinking of releasing a limited-release special version of my VN to only certain people without it affecting the already available demos on IndieDB and itch.io.
I know itch.io allows DL keys, but I believe that applies to all files that are available for downloads and can't be restricted to just a specific one.
Thanks for the recommendations in advance!

Thanks for the suggestion!
Mega has a size limit for downloads I think so it probably won't work for what I need. Google drive was my default option so I might end up just going with that if I can't find more suitable alternatives.

Pixeldrain, workupload, gofile, mixdrop, uploadnow... lots of file sharing hosts, most of them have some form of size limit, either file size, or download limits (at least without the downloader purchasing a premium sub) but they all work pretty well.
