The best way to distribute levels is to archive all their files in a ZIP and share a link to either a cloud drive or a Discord attachment. If you don't have any custom assets, you can get away with just the LVLX file.

I recommend using MEGA, Google Drive, or Dropbox. These links do not expire.
- MediaFire is no longer recommended as it has slow download times.
- DO NOT use Sendspace. Links will expire after some period of time. Most levels and GFX have fallen victim to this, making them essentially lost media.
- Also, for Discord, I'd say use it with caution. Discord has a file size limit that can be lifted using Discord Nitro, making it unessential for uploading certain levels that go beyond the 8mb file limit if you're not going to pay for Nitro. Also, deleting messages can be risky, as it can take downloads with them.

You must also not use 4shared, since users need to sign-in to download stuff from there, also this too-

As for my opinion, I prefer Google Drive and Dropbox.
