Or maybe a way to use existing cloud services like Google Drive or OneDrive or Dropbox for this purpose?

I just have a bunch of .deb files and I think this could be really useful. Plus I will be offloading some of my storage 😁

    @ipacialsection I already have the debs, just looking for a repo for them to store them in a kind of more useful way. I was looking at openbuildservice.org, but I’m unsure about their terms. If I have a few games as debs that I legally got, and add them there, will they risk being taken down because of piracy? Or would I be able to set a private repo as well so only I could access it?

      I honestly have only passing knowledge of it, but my understanding is that Open Build Service is more for sharing software whose source code you are allowed to distribute. If you aren’t looking to distribute at all, the solutions other users suggested might be better.

      There’s also a way to create an APT repository entirely on your own system, without a web server, which I haven’t tried myself, but a DuckDuckGo search found this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal
