I'd like to host a file somewhere in the cloud and publicly share a link to download it.<p>1. For free
2. Reliable
3. I want the file to start downloading right after a link is clicked. So that no "download page" shows up in between. All major cloud vendors offering free file sharing (Google Drive, WeTransfer, etc.) show this download page.<p>It is EXE file, 29MB large.
You can copy the direct download link from Google Drive's download page. For instance:<p><a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1cwRBCm3TbjpYMTVqJBsjfFGtrQ5ZdkGq&export=download" rel="nofollow">https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1cwRBCm3TbjpYMTVqJBsjfFGtrQ5Z...</a><p>I'm sure other providers are similar.
Use a ngrok tunnel. I also had some luck with transfer.sh I believe. Your operating word here is "free".<p>For a exe, just use github . i know a few projects that host downloads on there.
