Is there a reliable way to send yourself a video from now and receive it in your gmail or something years from now?
Some time ago I saw a thread where it was asked what would your younger self tell your actual self. and it kinda stuck on me that I didn't actually know. So now I'm about to turn 22, last year of college, and want to make a video where I talk about my current situation and what I want to achieve, and also ask myself where did everything go right/wrong, even if I won't get an answer now.
The idea is to then receive it and rewatch it when I turn either 27 or 30, to see how much things changed in those 5-8 years, leading to either a dopamine rush and feeling good for what I got, or a severe depression because my ideals went to shit; both cases most likely ending with rain inside my room.
If I'm still around to see it by then, that is.
Anyway, I did some previous googling, and the only apparently reliable way was to use use an app only available for iOS(only have android phone), and almost none regarding actual, non-mobile methods.
Of course, I could just go the easy way and save the video on a pendrive/SD, store it somewhere safe, and watch it when time's up, but I might end up forgetting or something might happen to it, and then it'll all be for nothing. And I also think it's kinda cooler to receive a mail from your younger self.
Either way, any ideas?

I actually write a diary to my future self in a .txt file describing the date, what's going on currently and what i'm thinking about. It feels a bit "lonely" while writing it DESU. When reading the stuff back 3 years later or so the feeling you get is mostly "oh yeah, i remember that". Would be more useful if there as a way for your future self to write to your present self...
On the subject of time-capsules - i've noticed that the older they are, the more boring they are. Anything before 1900 is usually stuff like dried out plants and old newspapers. At most old photos... Go forward a bit to the 1950's and it gets much more interesting - in 1957 they buried a whole Plymouth car that was intended to be unearted in 2007. As you can see in pic related, they didn't do a great job insulating the concrete capsule, so water managed to leak through.

make gmail account, give it long ass string name and long ass string password, upload video, take note of password and account name, put it on an envelope, close it, save it at the bottom of the drawer

I could program a little website that could do this. It's a cool idea.

This. Although the other one would be alright for self reflection.
