Is there any addon for XF 2.2 that uplad images to imgur and you can insert them to the comment from there (or other image hosting)?

Hi Guys!

I would like to avoid to get my server full with upladed images, one solution would be if users can upluad the images to other server and insert them from there to my XF Forum, is there anything like that?

Thanks for the help.

Wow, this seems pretty hard to set up, but I guess worth a try.

Is it better to host files on DigitalOcean? I once set up a Discourse forum with DigitalOcean.
Is it cheaper to host my files there? This quide doesnt really light on what's the main benefit to do this, because my original qustion was about Imgur ... which is free, DigitalOcean isnt.

(I originally wanted to use the "Image optimiser " add-on, but my provider is a shared server and they dont give my SSH root access, so cant install the providers, that's why I want to find an another solution if the users want to upload pictures).
