What's funny is that Relive doesn't have to depend on Strava. When I knew about the service months ago I signed up expecting to be able to upload a GPX file and get a video back. But no, they want to get those files via Strava (or other cloud services) so I closed my account.

I understand that 1) it removes a lot of friction, 2) it's what the users of Strava are used to and 3) they can get all those juicy data instead of a few files. However it's risky and Strava eventually cut them off.

I wonder if they'll implement a file upload, just live with the other services, or close the business.

Relive actually does support GPX upload and touts it as a way to still integrate with Strava, albeit by manually downloading the gpx from strava and uploading to relive: https://support.relive.cc/article/18-import-old-activity

Good to know because I don't want to have an account on Strava or similar services. I didn't notice that import functionality when I created my account, only the prompts to connect to third-party services. I'll create a new account and check it out.
