- launch (S)FTP application
- connect to server
- navigate to correct folder
- upload file
- copy path + filename, then modify for actual URL

Well, depends on how your ftp client is set up.

- My default folder on the home side is the folder where I usually save my screenshots to.  So more often than not, it's simply dragging from the left to the right.  No need to actually browse anywhere.
- Just set up the client up so that right click + copy link gets the full correct link, ready to use.

The real benefit is if you have multiple files, it can be done all at once (yes, even the copy link).

And if you're wrong, then changing things over isn't exactly easy, whereas hosting externally, I eliminate all risks with self-hosting.  (only thing I need to worry about is them potentially deleting files)

A risk based least cost strategy?  I see those economics and finance lessons you took didn't go to waste.

Jokes aside, do you even come close to using up your monthly cap?  I'm under the (possibly very incorrect) impression that you don't even come close to that.  So it's pretty much a forgone cost anyway.
