Hay friends there are many file hosting sites in internet. Even we also use some of that file hosting sites to upload our files and then add that sharing link in our blog or websites.

But I recommend you to use Google Drive, because it provides their users 15 Gb of free spaces for uploading files. But some cases the other file hosting sites delete our videos for some reasons.


But if you upload your videos in Google Drive, then your files will not be deleted. Here is the process how to upload files in Google Drive.
