Folder option

[akoma]

Currently if I upload many related pictures or manga chapters or whatever, I have to give people dozens links for them to keep track, and always update the list.

It would be cool to have a folder where I can put related things together and keep it updated.

And it could be kept anonymous, with the folder being just a random hash as other files. But if you login you can add more content to the folder.

What do you think? Thanks.

No, Pomf isn't Imgur nor to be used as a "cloud"-hosting such as Dropbox, if you want to upload multiple files via one link then archive (rar/zip/tar) them and upload.

If you want to make a gallery or such I recommend you use Imgur, Volafile or another service.

Also keep in mind that Pomf allows all kind of filetypes, so you could upload some HTML, CSS, JS, etc and solve this yourself perhaps? Go wild.

Neither is Pomf to be used for long term hosting such as Mega, I don't delete files nor do they expire (yet), but Pomf is free and I pay most of it out of my own pocket and I simply don't have the resources to allow big files to be uploaded and having faith that it will be there forever (crashes and whatnot causes a lot of files to be deleted sometimes).

TL;DR: until I get a new server which I will be colo-hosting I will not add such features and I will probably not add them after either.

Here's the situation: every week a new manga chapter of Hunter x Hunter is out and we upload it to a mediafire folder. People have the folder bookmarked and just check it every Monday for an update. And people that just discovered it can download old chapters. This way, we can only share 1 link and everyone is happy. Pretty simple. Each new chapter is ~ 7MB big and we get a new one every week. Currently we use mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?ujfpyfxyv9a63 But we are afraid they delete it. And mediafire isn't cute.

What do you think could be a good solution?

Upload the chapers at archives, share the links so people can view the new ones or the old ones or keep using Mediafire for it since they already support it.

And I agree that Mediafire is not cute, but I will not add this, sorry.

I thought here, the folder could be something pretty simple.

A page that you can index pomf.se links, just to keep them at the same place. And you can update it at will (not deleting any file, but just getting nwe file links in or out your list).

Like a special paste, but that you login to and can add pomf.se links to only. And those pomf.se links can be given a name, so it looks better.

I think this would be pretty straight-forward and solve everything.

What do you think?

All right, but I will keep my hopes up!

The idea is pretty solid, I think (even though I'm biased hehe). It's simply a custom version of the paste service in place. But it's editable and you can only put pomf.se links. And those links can be give names and stuff to look pretty.

I will keep my fingers crossed. Thanks.

Sorry, I already added accounts with a simple search function to view your files, I do not want to promote accounts, galleries or such any more, Pomf is and will stay simple.

Why not make this easy hack yourself and host a page that you update the links to? All you need is some webspace (you can get some for free) and a text editor.

[akoma]

Isn't this simple enough? Using the login (already in place) to keep your special paste updated? And it's simpler for users, so they only share one link once instead of many links many times

I want to keep Pomf this way, not go down the road where everything is connected to a identity, adding accounts was a mistake in the first place. Just host a text file that you edit yourself somewhere, can't get easier than that.

OK
