Often I want to attach a file that is larger than what google will

The problem is I do not want to use the 2 file share services that
TB is
showing,
and none of the add-on have my preferred file share server.

Has anyone somehow overcome this "apparent" limitation of TB, and
configured
TB to use a file share service other than what TB and the plugins
(add-ons)
provide?

It would help if you told us what your preferred file share
service is.

I subscribe to a few free ones.
But just for an example, try sendspace.com, among
others.
I see no way to make TB use sendspace and prompt me
for my user id and passwd on the chosen provider,
and upload the file I just tried to attach to a message,
and if too large, TB prompts the
user to use a share service.

I'm using Dropbox with it via the addon dropbox-for-filelink.  These
seem to be the only supported services:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/filelink-large-attachments

I did indeed install dropbox, and restarted TB.
It still does not show dropbox as one of the share
services.
So, perhaps you could clue me in on how to make it work.

I installed this:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/dropbox-for-filelink/

I tried to install it. TB's Tools->Add-On->Get Extensions shows this
banner:

Secure connection failed

An error occurred during a connection to services.addons.mozilla.org.
Peer's Certificate has been revoked. (Error code:
sec_error_revoked_certificate)

     Try again



But I was able to download it using FF and installed it on TB

But attaching a large file and clicking on Link on battom bar that
appears on TB
still does not list dropbox as an option to upload to.



I just attach a file normally. If it's over the size set in preferences,
then TB asks me if I want to send a link

I tried it. When I "authenticate" with my email address and pword,
it just spins forever.
Yet, when I login via FF, my login works just fine.
