File Storage sites

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have experience with the file storage sites that will allow public access for file sharing for every type of file, and not just images

Any reccomendations or opinions would be greatly appreciated

Sendspace (as mentioned already), 4Shared (http://www.4shared.com/), and Ripway (http://www.ripway.com/) are the first that come to mind for me.

With Ripway, though, I was constantly finding I'd go over their daily bandwith allowance. I also haven't had much experience with 4Shared yet to know much about it one way or another how good it is.

With a gmail account, you simply start your own google group and deposit the files there and make the people you want to share with, members of the group. You can also make webpages where you can put links for them to download the files from.

I bought a domain and have server space at StartLogic.com.

I may also add that it can totally depend on the kind of access to the files you want. While the likes of Sendspace is great for storing files and giving someone a link to download them, you can't direct link or, just say, really include those files in a webpage.

If you are computer savvy enough, you could scarcely do better than to get a Powweb account for less that $100/year (www.powweb.com).

I have one and it gives me unlimited bandwidth and storage. They will even throw in a free domain registration, but I register my domains through DNBuy.com

Hope this helps ....

My latest favorite is Dropbox. Drag and drop to your public shared folder, with a link, and you are instantly sharing. Syncing, gallery, 2GB, free account. People you send links to, do not have to have an account.
