About video,

MEGA.nz offers e.g. an 8TB storage tier for a reasonable price. I'm not bringing them up because of their security+privacy concept –which may suit you– but because of their take on how you can put the material to work (and do work) while hosted with them.

HTML embed videos from storage into your web content and they'll be decrypted on the fly as their watched. Link sharing for selected videos for discretionary views or downloads by receiving users, and of course team member co-op and granular access to said materials.

For starters though, prioritize getting material sent and backed up in relative safety before thinking about functionality. A simple store might fulfill your requirements in the end.

Feel free to drop me an email.

According to Kim Dotcom [0] The Chinese government has a backdoor to MEGA.nz.

If he could produce substantial evidence to back up that claim, I'd be very interested in learning more. Until then, he doesn't have the credibility to be trusted.

Based on the assumptions I have about MEGA, Chinese intelligence and their motivations I find it unlikely they have an active, mutual conspiracy (impractical, expensive).

I assume MEGA is as viable target for covert, low-cost try-your-luck attacks as much as any other western infrastructure/enterprise. In that sense and in this post-Snowden world we live in, it seems as likely that any capable nation or five-eyes member et.c. could have* such a "backdoor".

*edit: 'has' → 'could have'

Huh. I just learned that nitter, but not twitter is blocked by the company firewall.

But yeah, I don't trust mega either.

I get daily spam from mega.nz. They can go to hell
This was the first time I heared about your issue, so I checked what they had to say on the matter.

Complaints about email spam with a MEGA email address: https://help.mega.io/security/data-protection/complaints-abo...

TLDR hypothesis - You get daily spam from a third party, using spoofed email headers, but I'm sure you'd figured that out already

Sorry, that is correct. I can't delete my comment. The mega.nz appears only in the from field. I see they use SPF.
You can possibly try to contact dang via hn@ycombinator.com to request that comment to be deleted. As a general rule, replied to comments can't be deleted by a user.
