It would not be hard maybe a week or two of hacking to make such an interface on top of an object store if you were motivated. A simple php or python app with a time limited key stored in a db of some sort. There though are already open source free apps that do provide user management, etc. If you are looking for an ideal solution, but you have to pay for it with money or time.
- gerash 6y agoIt would be a nice exercise but relying on it doesn't make sense to me. We had to write a text editor in our first semester of our CS undergrad program. I'm not going to use my own text editor in favor of say MS word or Google doc.

- eru 6y agoA week of coding is a long time, and you have to keep it up to date. (It's basically a quarter of a month of salary. That's a lot of money.) Depending on contracts with an employer, there might be legal hassles as well.

Every hosted provider supports external storages so you’re never locked in with them. And since you’re not actually using any of their storage you can stay in their free tier forever. I self-host on DO and it works amazingly well.
