I think a good compromise to make it easier would be to limit it to something like Mega where it's encrypted on the server simply to protect users and the site from DMCA. I don't see a point having to micromanage like you mentioned. It would be a lot of work for the moderation team, I think. Users should be allowed to post whatever content, as long as it isn't illegal to link to it like it is for google drive and some other cloud providers. Mega has a great track record of not caring about DMCA complaints.

About 12 years ago Kim Dotcom got arrested and the original Mega was shut down, so there's always a chance that could happen to any site/content. Our hosts do not acknowledge DMCA/GDPR and sites like Google are subject to different laws and regulations. That said, I encourage people to follow the TOS of other sites, but it's of no consequence to the forum if they choose not to.

It's not my aim to ever tell people what hosts they can or can't use, unless they're ridden with ads or malware.

That's perfectly fair and well answered. Thank you.
