Is there a good way to share video files with only access to a static file store?

I don’t want to run a transcoding server (transcoding on upload is fine), and want to keep it simple.

Thanks!

edit: I’m mostly looking to allow people to view the file in the browser rather than download, so some kind of adaptive bitrate solution would be ideal. I posted a comment below, but MPEG-DASH/dash.js looks like it might fit the bill.

    fair enough. the files i upload tend to be pretty small (<25-30 MBs) so i haven’t needed to think about details like dash. there are a few projects like https://github.com/ShaneIsrael/fireshare and https://github.com/Hubro/clipface i could find with a quick search but none of them try to do anything adaptive (unless you go for a full blown solution such as peertube which doesn’t seem to be what you’re looking for)

      Thanks for the reply. Yeah - for example have some documentaries of friends I’d like to share that are multi-GB, and not that “streamable” on slow connections.

      I also really don’t need another server to manage right now :)
