Storage.to CLI, upload a file, get a link

Hacker News

I kept running into the same annoyance: I want to upload a file from a script and just get a link back — without setting up S3 buckets, auth flows, or SDKs. I built a small service + CLI to scratch that itch: https://storage.to https://github.com/ryanbadger/storage.to-cli The CLI does the heavy lifting (single PUT vs multipart automatically), so the mental model is just: storageto upload huge-file.zip → prints a public link you can pass to another step. It’s very early and intentionally simple: - Anonymous uploads (no signup yet) - Public links - CLI groups multiple files into a collection automatically This is meant for quick, ad-hoc sharing and scripted workflows where setting up buckets feels like overkill. I’m posting mainly to sanity-check whether this solves a real workflow problem, or if most people already have a cleaner pattern for this.
