I am done with IPFS as a "quick file host".

This was my primary use case and it has now failed me twice when I needed it the most to save time before going to bed. Wanted to share a 2.9GB file to my friend, dropped it on my IPFS node, and sent him a link straight to my gateway - but the download kept failing. Remember, this is the gateway hosted on the same node.

It eats my resources, fails when I need it and "just updating" it doesn't work unless I run the repo migrations manually. Let alone propagating my changes into the DHT it works so much for by eating a whole lot of CPU time.

I need a new drop-off file sharing solution x.x

And, I am pissed.

Mega works reasonably well and offers a fairly generous free tier.
