I wrote something just like this with Discord, and I even got it to host full videos which you can play back in browser. It's a good backup service. [0]
I want to expand this in into a fully modular service that you write payloads and scripts for various services, so when you upload a file its spread out across many different providers. When you're downloading, you just go down the list check what still exists, and verify the checksum. This should be stable for many years.
I plan to take a look into facebook and see what can/cant be accessed there. I had this exact thought with youtube and thought about using a pixel reader to exact out data. Same idea for different image hosting services like imgur.
