Turns out catbox is blocked by like everyone, are there any good private alternatives that are not blocked by the masses that I can use to send files under 2gb with a "delete after X hours" feature?

Before you say Lufi, it refuses to finish requesting the file on the DL end, times out every time, on a 22.15MB file no less.

Any help would be appreciated. Trying to send a relative who "doesn't want to turn off her wifi" on her iPhone lest "it mess something up" a video. No shot I can get her to log into her router and disable the stupid "security" hijack that blocks catbox.

I dunno if I'd trust it with anything sensitive, but this might be something

https://limewire.com/

Lol well soulseek if anything, but I can't get them to disable wifi, and you think I can get them to download nic+, configure port forwarding, etc? Fat chance lol.

You mean the link I gave? Limewire isn't "limewire" any more. It's a drag and drop sharing website.

Drop a file, give them the URL, all good. No installation required. I've used it a few times. Like I said, probably don't upload state secrets there but to share a MP4 or something, might be OK.

Hope it helps.

PS: you mentioned they had an Iphone? I'm not an apple guy but is there a way to share things to their Icloud from your computer?
