I would not recommend the following site as an online backup site though.
But if you need to share files FAST with your friends, FREE and want to upload with NO HASSLE, you could try the following sites.
For small files,
1. zshare.net - (up to 500 MB & unlimited downloads)
No registeration needed, able to embed videos/audios (for e most commonly used formats only), very easy. Rmb to email the deletion info to yourself if you still wanna have some control over the file you uploaded.
2. Drop.io - (up to 100 MB)
A neat, clean site! No registration needed, able to embed videos/audios/photos. Protected from search engines.
3. MediaFire.com - (up to 100 MB per file)
Unable to embed video/audio/pictures. Do not use this as backup if you ever intend to, server is not stable and may delete your files anytime.
4. Senduit.com - (up to 100 MB)
Very simple. Go to the site, upload, select link expiry date and viola.
PROS: Click on the URL and your file starts downloading immediately!! No need to face another download page!
5. Driveway.com
Haven tried this before but seems like a neat site.
For big files, i recommend:
1. FileAi.com - Unlimited file size
Recipient to begin downloading the file as soon as you begin uploading it.
SO that means you don’t have to wait an hour for a large file to upload to the site’s servers before your friend or co-worker can start downloading it.
2. EatLime.com - (100MB w/o registration, 1GB w registration)
Allow your friends to begin downloading the file as soon as you start uploading it.
3. FileDropper.com - (Up to 5GB)
Great for emails:
1. uSend.io - (up to 100MB)
Upload, type in recipient’s email and they’ll get your link with 100MB limit.
2. MailBigFile.com - (Up to 1 GB)
Similar to above but with bigger storage.
Keeps the file available for 7 days for up to 3 downloads.
3. TransferBigFiles.com - (Up to 2GB)
So, what storage site do you use? be it uploading for a friend/blog.
It gives 500 MB for free (with promocode FRANK you can get 1 GB) and lets you create playlists, share them and embed into tumblr (you’ll have to have “plain text/HTML” checked in preferences). The great thing about it is that you can edit your playlists anytime and it will be updated in blog right away, plus you can let people vote for songs they like and add comments.
