Sharing Your Work
These are our top recommendations for platforms where you can make completed media available online. None of these platforms should be considered a substitute for permanent file preservation. See our storage & preservation page for information on where you might archive your media.

SoundCloud¶
What & Why
A free SoundCloud account gives you 180 minutes of uploaded audio. Additional storage space requires an ongoing subscription. Files may be shared publicly, or set to "private" and made visible only to people with a link that you supply.
