    Obviously, a paid hosting service will also work.

    also do you know if at wupload they keep your files forever ... also what is this inactivity policies
    One and the same thing.

    Correct. Files are deleted if not downloaded for the last X days (varies according the hoster) to make room for new ones.

    Generally they're cooler to paying customers, but always check their terms of service and such to know

    Also, some hosting services have a "don't use us as file storage" rule. You'll have to spot things like that before you pay.

    My chief complaint against free file storage/drive backup sites is that they start out offering a "too good to be true" service, and then once you've gotten comfortable with the system and uploaded all your files, they always seem to greatly reduce the level of the free service, in effect taking your files hostage unless you pay the ransom. (I always refused out of principle)

    Some cheapskate solutions that I've used for file hosting: Gmail Drive and OpenP2M, both of which essentially turn a Gmail account into a "FTP" server. They're not quite as easy and tidy as using a proper storage site, but make a nice trick to play with. (These are old apps; I don't know if they still work on Gmail accounts)
