* Mediafire provides 50gb free and has a REST API.
* Flickr provides 1 tb (!!!!) to free accounts, and can store at least
photos and videos.
* mega.co.nz. Already supported via [[tips/megaannex]], would just need
webapp modifications to configure it. May want to use megaannex as-is to
build a non-hook special remote in haskell.

[Megaannex](https://github.com/TobiasTheViking/megaannex)
is a hook program for git-annex to use mega.co.nz as backend
# Requirements:
requests>=0.10
pycrypto
Credit for the mega api interface goes to:
<https://github.com/richardasaurus/mega.py>
## Install
Clone the git repository in your home folder.
git clone git://github.com/TobiasTheViking/megaannex.git
This should make a ~/megannex folder
## Setup
Run the program once to make an empty config file.
cd ~/megaannex; python2 megaannex.py
Edit the megaannex.conf file. Add your mega.co.nz username and password
Note: The folder option in the megaannex.conf file isn't yet used.
## Configuring git-annex
git config annex.mega-store-hook 'python2 ~/megaannex/megaannex.py store --subject $ANNEX_KEY --file $ANNEX_FILE'
git config annex.mega-retrieve-hook 'python2 ~/megaannex/megaannex.py getfile --subject $ANNEX_KEY --file $ANNEX_FILE'
git config annex.mega-checkpresent-hook 'python2 ~/megaannex/megaannex.py fileexists --subject $ANNEX_KEY'
git config annex.mega-remove-hook 'python2 ~/megaannex/megaannex.py delete --subject $ANNEX_KEY'
git annex initremote mega type=hook hooktype=mega encryption=shared
git annex describe mega \"the mega.co.nz library\"
## Notes
You may need to use a different command than "python2", depending
on your python installation.

mega.co.nz has 50gb for free accounts. They also have an API, so I guess it wouldn't be too hard to use it as a special remote.
[[done]], see [[tips/megaannex]].
