Sorry, I edited the post concurrently with your comment - it now points to Base2048, the link I meant to post, which actually should work - rather than https://github.com/qntm/base65536 (which I think you're commenting on).
I made a tool that lets you store files anywhere you can store a URL: https://podje.li/
This is pretty tame compared to some actual, practical ones such as https://github.com/apachecn/CDNDrive
For people who didn't read Chinese: it encodes data into 16M blocks in PNG and then uploads (together with a index) to various Chinese social media sites that doesn't re-compress your images. I knew people have used it to store* TBs after TBs data on them already.
*Of course, it would be foolish to think your data is even remotely safe "storing" them this way. But it's a very good solution for sharing large files.
This reminds me of SnapchatFS[1], a side project I made about 8 years ago (see also HN thread[2] at that time).
From the README.md:
> Since Snapchat imposes few restrictions on what data can be uploaded (i.e., not just images), I've taken to using it as a system to send files to myself and others.
> Snapchat FS is the tool that allows this. It provides a simple command line interface for uploading arbitrary files into Snapchat, managing them, and downloading them to any other computer with access to this package.
