Hosting files online

Hi guys, what's the best way to host files online? I have .glb files that I'm currently hosting in webflow by adding the .txt file extension to them but it limits my functionality when it comes to modifying them. I came across this service called Uploadcare(https://uploadcare.com/) but it only works with image files. The only other alternative I can think of is building an FTP server, I'm a bit familiar with Nodejs. I just don't know if it's the most efficient way though

I've used github for hosting js, json, svg there's an option to get the link to the "raw" file that might work for you added benefit with all the version control. would that work for you/ ? You could also use a general AWS s3 bucket

Ive been trying out surge.sh lately. Super simple deployment from the command line. https://surge.sh/
Surge
Shipping web projects should be fast, easy, and low risk. Surge is static web publishing for Front-End Developers, right from the CLI.
