But just for an example, try sendspace.com, among others. I see no way to make TB use sendspace and prompt me for my user id and passwd on the chosen provider, and upload the file I just tried to attach to a message, and if too large, TB prompts the user to use a share service.
I'm using Dropbox with it via the addon dropbox-for-filelink. These seem to be the only supported services:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/filelink-large-attachments
I did indeed install dropbox, and restarted TB. It still does not show dropbox as one of the share services. So, perhaps you could clue me in on how to make it work.
I installed this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/dropbox-for-filelink/
I tried to install it. TB's Tools->Add-On->Get Extensions shows this banner:
Secure connection failed
An error occurred during a connection to services.addons.mozilla.org. Peer's Certificate has been revoked. (Error code: sec_error_revoked_certificate)

Try againBut I was able to download it using FF and installed it on TB
But attaching a large file and clicking on Link on battom bar that appears on TB still does not list dropbox as an option to upload to.
I just attach a file normally. If it's over the size set in preferences, then TB asks me if I want to send a link
I tried it. When I "authenticate" with my email address and pword, it just spins forever. Yet, when I login via FF, my login works just fine.
