What do you do when you need to share a file, and your email administrator has put a limit on the file size that you can send or receive. (Typically email caps out at 10-20MG). You can share files using a free file hosting service. Many of these have popped up since 2006, but I think my list is the best of the best.
How do these services work?
- On the users end, it’s easy - upload your file, and the service returns a link that can be shared.
- The Hosting Services listed below, use a feature called file mirroring. This means that they take your file and transfer it to a Third Party Hosting Company. The terms of use require that you abide by the third party hosting company’s terms and conditions.
- Since they are free, these services support themselves with online advertising.
Make sure that you check the file expiration in the terms of use. Many files are deleted after 7-90 days.
1. Rapidspread - unlimited file size
2. Massmirror - up to 1 GB
3. Filefactory - files up to 300MB, up to 25 files at a time
