Often I want to attach a file that is larger than what google will allow, a limit I configured in TB. And TB will prompt me to use a file share service.
The problem is I do not want to use the 2 file share services that TB is showing, and none of the add-on have my preferred file share server.
Has anyone somehow overcome this "apparent" limitation of TB, and configured TB to use a file share service other than what TB and the plugins (add-ons) provide?

Is not it enough to paste the URL in the message, without these complications with attachments?

to what attachments do you refer?
if i have a short attachment, 30 or so lines or less, i attach it.
if i have what i consider a large attachment, a binary file, or a graphic file, i store it on a file/graphic server and supply link.
for sure, there are many who do not do such.
just like there is a great many who do not 'chop dead wood' or reply interspersed.

You want to say there are many for which it is so difficult to c/p URL? :)

It would help if you told us what your preferred file share service is.

I subscribe to a few free ones. 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:

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:

But 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 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.
