File Garden

The recent support has been amazing, thanks everyone! :D Unfortunately, our profits are still not great. It's not dire, but out of concern for long-term sustainability, we reduced the max size *PER FILE* for free users from 100 MB to 40 MB before it has a chance to become a problem. Explanation 👇

The 100 MB max per file was never a deliberate choice, but a technical limitation. We plan to lift it for non-basic supporters in the future. Until then, supporters stay at 100 MB max per file: filegarden.com/pricing This limit only applies to new uploads; existing files are fine.

Our costs from net storage use have increased another 10% this month, now $421/mo (in addition to the server costs ~$200/mo). I'm paying all costs out of pocket, and donations aren't keeping pace. So for now, I've unfortunately decided to decrease our free storage limit from 15 GB to 2 GB. (1/2)

We're aware the server has been going down a lot lately--we've been hitting memory bottlenecks from high server load. The site's traffic has been growing more and more over the last year, and the original backend developed several years ago isn't holding up well. (1/2)

Our backend is being rewritten to heavily optimize this, but that will take some time, so for now we'll just have to upgrade the server. On our current infrastructure, this unfortunately may take an hour or so of downtime. Apologies for doing this on such short notice. (2/2)

The file.garden domain is currently down. The website (filegarden.com) and all files are fine, but direct links are inaccessible. The issue seems to be on Cloudflare's end (our domain provider). I contacted them and will post as soon as they reply. Unfortunately the average response time is 3 days.

Porkbun replied: "We contacted the GoDaddy Registry on February 14, but we haven't received a reply yet. We sent the GoDaddy Registry another email this morning. We will keep you informed of any reply and we will continue to contact them."

Many have reported difficulties with Tampermonkey. I recommend Violentmonkey instead, as it doesn't have any such issues (and it's open-source!): violentmonkey.github.io Also, our script breaks some websites (YouTube, Google Accounts, etc.), so I suggest toggling it on only when it's needed.

I wrote a Tampermonkey script that lets file.garden keep working in just your own browser by requesting its files through the temporary domain! It's not perfect, but it usually works. 1. Install Tampermonkey: www.tampermonkey.net 2. Visit temporary-file-garden.link/fixer.user.js 3. Click "Install"

GoDaddy confirmed they blocked file.garden for violating TLD community guidelines. This is the first I'm hearing of this, and they aren't clarifying how their guidelines were violated. They say our registrar Porkbun is responsible for appealing the block, so I'm in contact with them now.

No response yet, but I completed a domain transfer from Cloudflare to Porkbun and can now begin restoring the domain's functionality. We relied on Cloudflare for some of our infrastructure, so replacing that may take some time. Rest assured that all will be restored. Thank you for your support. :)
