How will you use our tool? What files you would like to share? Don't be afraid, just go to morejust.store and upload something! 😉

This is a neat hack and would have been cool a couple years ago, but GitHub has had the "Upload Files" button for a while, plus the ability to view your files easily, and the ability to create folders and files. I can also make private repos on GitHub, so that sort of erases the need for this--it's neat but it's basically a stripped down version of GitHub's UI for uploading file, so I would just stick to GitHub in this case.
Pros:- cool UI
- neat hack
Cons:- repositories are public, but I can make private repos on my account
- there is already an "Upload Files" button on GitHub that does this

Thanks for the review.
As I mentioned on Medium, the Upload button is a solution. But unfortunately, there is no API for this. So we have found the hack that helps us to store files just with API call (you can check our API here). That can be helpful on hackathons if you need to upload somewhere files and have public links to them.
Moreover, you can create your own cloud storage with just "deploy to heroku" button - you can find the tutorial on our website. And you can just deploy our tool on your private repos to store files securely.

Software Developer & Architect🤔 There are plenty of modern cloud storages around the web, but are they convenient for you as a developer? Do they give you a direct url to download any uploaded file in a click?
🚀 Thats why we made Morejust: Store. Unlimited storage. Available anytime and anywhere. GitHub CDN all around the world. Free. Forever.
🔝 Enjoy, upvote and share!

Software Developer & Architect@okhlopkov @wendyde03942462 agree hah. Just a programmer cycle 🙌
Being a non-developer and trying to find the mundane/simple use for this for any generic user such as myself - is it truly unlimited storage? what's privacy like? would this eliminate the need for me to pay for extra storage on say dropbox? icloud? or is that not the purpose of this platform? and lastly, any plans to release some sort of mac/desktop toolbar app or google chrome extension?

Software Developer & Architect@prithsr So, first of all - yes, it is truly unlimited. What are we doing? We are using GitHub repositories to store files. There is a limit for 1000mb for one repo, so when repo will be filled - the new repo will be created and all files will go there.
🚫 Regarding privacy - all your files could be reached by any user, if he will just visit your repo. By the way, we are thinking to implement supporting of private repositories, so only you will be able to get your files with special token. This token easily fits in the file link, so it will be as convenient as it it now.
Using our service you can install in for your own purposes (one click installation guide provided) or use our own. There is actually no difference.

Fantastic hack!

1. Is it legal from the perspective of GitHub policy?
2. How trustworthy is that kind of storage? Do GitHub can remove my repo without a notice if it breaks the rules?

Software Developer & Architect@suvrocdev Actually, we don't violate any GitHub rules, so it is not even a hack. But just a few minutes ago we got blocked our organization in GitHub where our repo is. Think we got a block for spreading our code. But all the files we storing in other organization, and its still alive

@okhlopkov https://help.github.com/articles.... "attempt to disrupt or tamper with GitHub's servers in ways that could harm our Website or Service, to place undue burden on GitHub's servers through automated means". The TOS is vague enough where there are multiple other ways they could cite as their reason for banning you.

"Start now!" link doesn't work.
Now private repositories are provided by Github for free, SO the code need to be updated
