Gene, I hope you will continue to share your tutorials as by listening or reading tutorials is the best way that I can learn about how a computer works.

Some are mp3 files but some are in written form and one or two are series, such as hours long Internet tutorials.
I don't know what the Blind Geek Zone accepts but it is probably considerably more restrictive than what I currently have on Drop Box. I might consider using Google Drive. I'd have to learn how to do it.
Downloading from google Drive appears to be easy, though a bit different from what people already know about but a brief explanation should be all that is needed to allow them to do so.

Hi, a thought here. Why not just upload your files to the BGZ (Blind Geek Zone site) that is if they are podcast. Another solution and it is not free is to create your own site and have them up on it. You could start small and then build up as needed if you ended up with a lot of files and band width. You can also use Google drive or One drive but it is not easy to share files with them as it is with drop box. You can do it but there is a lot more steps. I don’t know if they have a band width cap or not. I don’t know if you could by paying for a drop box account would solve the band width problem or not but I wuld think it would for the most part.

But most people don't know how to do this and most people don't even know there is a risk. I want to share files of my work and useful programs people may be interested in, but not in a way that is potentially risky.

Fair point about the file limits for free accounts; however, the potentially malicious ads could be easily be bypassed with Firefox and the right assortment of protective addons.

SendSpace free accounts have a 300 MB file size limit and downloads expire after a month of inactivity. Also, the constant ads which are potentially malicious in some cases, make SendSpace an almost useless alternative in my opinion.
