I'm setting up a custom themed Tumblr site for someone that doesn't want annual hosting fees. Are there any free places out there to host under 10mb of css/js/jpeg files? (Tried Google docs but they don't allow css/js.) If not, what are some cheaper options?
Grazie.
Hmm, you could use Dropbox for that. Dropbox basically is an online folder, which means you can sync it between multiple computers. And you can also use the Public folder, simply upload your files there, with a right click on the file choose Dropbox > Copy Public Link. And then just paste it where ever you need it.
Note: You need to download and install it.
I hope this helps.
*EDIT: The free account gives you 2GB of space, use it however you want.
Amazon's S3 is really the best solution. Unless they have huge traffic, their costs will be very, very low ( pennies / dollars ).
Here's a Coding Horror post on the topic
This is how I am hosting my tumblr site. www.asciiarmor.com is the blog and files.asciiarmor.com is my S3 bucket. It's super fast and very reliable.
Tumblr has an uploading form dedicated for uploading external assets for your themes. It won't cost you anything, but there is a 15mb daily limit. You can find it here.
I've been searching for this Tumblr link for hours now. Finally came across it on Stack Overflow. Thanks buttonstack!
