PDF Hosting is a free tool to host PDF files at its site. It generates a link that can used.
pdfhost.io/
Edit/Add, 9/8/23. An Edit Link (save for own future use/reference) and Share Link (for public use) are generated. A later Search may (if Public) or may not (if Not public) find the link again. Site login or save (at the site) are not offered. However, after upload, choices are offered to make document public (i.e. searchable), add author info (e.g. YBB, etc, with limited effect), description, tags; only Share Link is found on search, not Edit Link.
Edit/Add, 9/21/23. If a WORD document is prepared on own PC, converted to PDF and uploaded to PDF Host, its Share Link will have a Download feature, and on Download, its Document Properties will show personal information from the PC even if the Author information was edited at the PDF Host. But the WORD document can be edited for author information from properties (from File/Info/Inspect).
PDF compression and other PDF editing can be done via free/signup ILovePDF. Different levels of PDF compression are possible.

Edit/Add, 12/31/23. When phone camera is used for a document, the resulting .jpg file is quite large, and if saved as .pdf, that file is also large. Many sites that require .pdf uploads have size limits. There are 2 ways to handle this - (1) By .pdf compression, that will lose some detailed features, (2) Better - use ILovePDF to directly convert .jpg into .pdf; the size of that .pdf is quite reasonable.

Edit/Add, 12/31/23. Several sites have Attachment feature (PB, M*, etc). Some document formats may carry personal information, especially WORD, but PDF and images (.jpg/jpeg (smaller files with loss on compression), .png (larger files with lossless compression)) seem fine. Personal information depends how the site treats the Attachment - just stores it as-is at the site or makes it own. This doesn't seem an issue with the media uploaded at Facebook, X/Twitter, etc that may also have default image compression. A simple test is to open or download a nonpersonal document and look for its Info or Properties (if you use this test on your own attached files, they may display personal information anyway).
Image hosting sites don't typically handle PDFs.
