I made a personal E-learning project with Captivate that I’d like to share with people. Its about 60 MB. Ideally I’d like to host the file on a personal website and make it downloadable, or something like that. However,
-I don’t have a work/ school LMS

-Sending it via email often gets rejected

-I tried creating an amazon server but no luck.

Any suggestions?
