Show HN: Storage.to CLI, upload a file, get a link

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.
