You can always use a file sharing site such as imgur - example layer on.

The not disappearing part is working, but it refuses to obey the setting that has keep aspect off so it makes it smaller instead of narrower. Any recourse??
Not really sure what you are doing.
A run through the scale tool (1) Where the preview can be on or off (2) and opacity adjusted (3) to make it easier to position over another layer. Keep aspect ration (4) can be on or off.
Still a problem? Use guides to show the points you need and use them. They are visible whatever the state of the layers.
or
An old script that might help you sometime. It will scale a layer up or down to fit into a selection. But...aspect ratio is preserved. The scaled layer is centered in the selection. example: https://i.imgur.com/2yGTQWY.jpg
Unpack the zip. Put sg-layer-fit-in-selection.scm in C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\scripts
