Does anyone know a good file hosting that's not catbox.moe? Unfortunately catbox is blocked in Russia since last summer, and while most of my subscribers aren't from there, I don't want to make anyone go through the hassle of configuring proxy/vpn just to see my unworthy photos. Key requirements are direct links, upload API, and at least a 10 mb upload limit.

I tried postimages and put.re, but the former doesn't provide an API, and put.re seems to be abandoned. Imgur doesn't feel stable enough (as in, I'm not sure my uploads will still be there in a year). I might have to resort to a VPS for private file storage, but maybe there *is* an alternative. I did contact the admin of catbox, but I doubt anyone would go through the hassle of dealing with Russia's state agencies.

flickr isn't necessarily a conventional means of basic image hosting (due to its social-media aspect), but I love it and recommend it as one.

Thanks for the replies folks! The research showed that flickr has a 1000 photos limit and file.garden does not have a public api (and they failed at sending me a *valid* e-mail verification code). imgbb seems to be the best option as it fits all my needs.
