1. Intro
In this post, I will share the best file sharing sites with an introduction on what each of them offers. First, let’s start with the free ones.
The leading free file sharing sites are:
1. Rapidshare
2. Mega
3. Shrinkit
4. Yandex (Russian)
5. Uploaded (Russian)
2. File Sharing Websites
There are some factors that should be considered while choosing a file sharing service. Here are the top four considerations:
1. File Sharing Service: It is important that you select a service that has one thing you want – share files freely. Fortunately, there are a lot of good choices out there, but if you want to get as much as possible for your money, make sure to look at a few qualities before selecting any of them.
2. Speed: If you’re uploading large files, make sure it is fast enough for you to finish uploading them in time. There are many services that have high download speeds but low upload speeds. The picture above shows how large files can be uploaded on these sites so fast and yet they appear to slow down when downloading it once they have transferred it to your computer or device(s).
3. Security: The security of the site is important because once those users who have been given access have uploaded their files, they cannot be removed by someone else at a later point in time (unless they had accidentally clicked on the wrong link). This means that your data can be stolen even if you do not upload anything yourself (and even if someone else was given access after you did).
4. Support: There may be some additional support provided by the company but this is usually not very significant in terms of cost or willingness to provide support should something go wrong with your account (i.e., no one knows about it and you don’t know about it yourself).
3. Advantages of the Best File Sharing Website
There are many advantages to the best file sharing website. It has a strong community, is easy to use and share, has good speed and security, and is available on various platforms.
A lot of people like using Dropbox because it keeps files safe and secure. This is an advantage as opposed to other services with similar benefits. Dropbox also allows users to save files in different formats such as PDF, DOC etc, which is really useful when you want to share files with your friends who don’t have the same documents or format of yours.
Another nice feature of Dropbox is their cloud sync feature which automatically transfers files between your computer and their servers without any need for you doing anything except right-clicking your desktop icon and clicking on “sync”.
4. Disadvantages of the Best File Sharing Website
There are many advantages and disadvantages of different file sharing websites in the market.
The main advantages of the best ones are:
1. Free
2. No registration required
3. Easy to use
4. Fast downloads
5. Good quality, fast uploads
5. Comparison of the Different File Sharing Websites
1. We will be comparing 4 different file sharing websites, namely, Dropbox, Box, Google Drive and DropBox. Dropbox is a bit more advanced than the other 3. It has a wide variety of features and as such offers a user-friendly interface that is easy to use, even for newbies. Besides that it offers multiple file sharing services like OneDrive or OneDrive Pro or Slack to synchronise files. Dropbox is available in two versions: one with webmail (DropBox Mail), which gives you email access to your files, and another one without email (DropBox Webmail), which does not, but allows you to send files from your computer through the web browser. There are also some free addons for Dropbox like Dropbox Shared Folder which allows you to share any folder on your computer with your contacts/friends/colleagues through the dropbox website. Box is another good option for anyone searching for a good free file sharing service. Like Dropbox it offers webmail access to your files and also allows you send files from your computer through the web browser via Box Sync. However, unlike Dropbox it does not allow direct uploads or downloads of files or folders on this website directly from your computer without using their client application (though they do offer these features under an optional paid subscription).
2. Google Drive has several advantages over its competitors in a way that it provides both online storage of documents and files as well as online collaboration using Google’s Hangouts video chat software – in addition to all this Google also provides online backup of files via GDrive Backup Service. Other benefits include easy setup and quick syncing between all devices, including Macs and PCs; all-in-one document viewer tool called Drive Viewer ; large collection of mobile apps; multiple file sharing services including Filesharing with Facebook , File Sharing with Google+, iCloud Drive Storage , iCloud Drive Storage Pro , OneDrive Storage , SharePoint Server Server Collaboration , Shared Folders (DropBox, Box) , SharePoint Server Server Collaboration Pro – where users can easily share their documents with colleagues by simply dragging them from one folder into another folder on the same site; big collection of mobile apps; multiple file sharing services including Filesharing with Facebook , File Sharing with Google+, iCloud Drive Storage , iCloud Drive Storage Pro , OneDrive Storage , SharePoint Server Server Collaboration , Shared Folders (DropBox, Box) , SharePoint Server Server Collaboration Pro – where users can easily share
6. Conclusion
There are a number of ways to do this. One is to use a free service such as Dropbox, while another is to pay for a subscription-based service like Box or Google Drive. Dropbox is easy to access and has fast servers that handle large files, while Box offers more storage space and support for multiple file types than Dropbox. Google Drive can store files in various formats and choose which service you should use to access them on your mobile device once they’re downloaded. Both services have their pros and cons, so it’s up to you what suits your needs best.
Both Dropbox and Box (and any other file sharing website) will allow you to upload files if they meet certain criteria (such as having no attachments). As long as they don’t contain sensitive data, this shouldn’t pose any problem at all.
