Can you upload animations with sound to Furaffinity?

Flash had died long time ago.
I think you could still because FA has a flash emulator but its not as good as flash itself.

Hi there. Sorry if this is a dumb question but can you animations with sound straight to Furaffinity?
Not at this time. It's something we WANT to allow, but storage space and bandwidth are at a premium. With the current economy it's not something we can open up right away, as doing so could add a few thousand dollars to our monthly bills. That's really the end all of it. Our monthly operating costs are expected to shoot up another $750 a month soon, and that's not including the demand video would put on it. =/
 
If you want to share an MP4 animation with sound on FurAffinity, the modern solution or workaround is to make an FA Gallery submission with a still thumbnail from the video and use a link-to-file hoster like DropBox, GoogleDrive or Mega to host the animation file itself, then provide a link in the still-image thumbnail submission's description to the video at the hoster you've chosen. A lot of flash animators whose work I've enjoyed have been doing this with their grandfathered-in SWF emulated submissions for a while- usually much higher quality in MP4 format than their posted Flash SWFs- and more recent animators' postings have used the method I've mentioned specifically.
