I published a large file host list last month and good lots of positive and some negative feedback concerning the list. The list contained a lot of sites that allow users to upload free files to their website and share it with others. A negative aspect was that it only featured a few categories that were not that useful to find a host that suited special needs.
Therefor, I decided to compile a new list with more information available at first glance. Information besides the site name consist of the following variables.
It took me about 6 hours to compile the list, its divided into file hosts with and without registrations and image hosts with and without registrations. If you have additions let me know and I add them in the january list.
Recommended File Host:
Recommended Image Host:
Reg: Does the site require a registration before you can use their services ? Registration means free registration of course.
Filesize: Is there a maximum size for a single file, in Mb ? No res = no restrictions
Space: How much diskspace is allocated for the user ? If there is no registration the max filesize has been taken as max space allowed. No res = no restrictions
Bandwidth: Are there bandwidth limitations ?
Filetypes: Are certain filetypes not allowed to be uploaded ?
Hotlinking: Does the site allow hotlinking ?
Expires: Are the files auto-deleted after a time, if yes the number of days are shown. If the number is unknown yes will be shown. Sometimes files only get deleted after inactivity for a certain time, if thats the case a “i” is added to the number. Sometimes file get deleted after a certain number of downloads, if thats the case a “d” is added to the number.

I personally like Gigasize.com since you can upload unlimited 1.5 GB files for free. Its definietly better then rapidshare and megaupload since there is no annoying wait before file downloads and the speed is way better.
http://www.gigasize.com/
added this excellent information to Lifehacker.
http://www.lifehacker.com/software/file%20sharing/
I hope this gives you a bit more traffic
I got another online data storage solution and file host http://www.theonlinedatastorage.com
Up to 1gig per file, no limits
This one needs no registration and allows files up to 5GB for free!
http://www.files.x7web.com
test
New Reohix Rack! Free file hosting located on http://www.rack.reohix.com
Price: $0 Free
Disk Space: 100 MBs
File Size Limit: Unlimited
Bandwidth: Unlimited
No Waiting Time!
No IP Limitations!
No Filetypes Blocked!
No File Time Restriction!
I go with of 6gb free file storage at:
http://www.dumpplace.com
and for a better list:
http://www.myftpplace.com
Here’s one more file sharing service www.shareator.com. Please include it.
Or http://upnuts.com/
You should add DorkPic to the list, its a fast and easy Image Host.
There’s not a whole bunch of ads on the page displaying the images and no annoying full page ads. Good also is that there is a separate adult-section so no adult ads are showing when you view your images!
The url is http://www.dorkpic.com
If anyone is interested, you can use Google code as a hosting site. It is free, and if you need more space, just make a new project. If you’ve exceded the space allowed for all of your projects, and maxed out the number of projects (and you probably won’t, because you get ten projects at, I think, 100MB each, so that’s 1000MB)), just make a new gmail account with google. You can do that nearly forever, and Google won’t delete anything.
-[UNKNOWN NAME]
On the imagehost field http://flicr.us seems like a good choice.
Another list, with review of some pages: http://www.driftingdots.com/float/storage.html
I use http://imglinker.com for hosting images on my blogs.
Check out www.xandau.co.uk aswell filesize 500M no limit on total space
go land letter go
here is another one who is really fast and simple with no ads and no waiting: http://upload.inesports.com/ works pretty neat.
Don’t forget Sling File http://www.slingfile.com for free 1GB uploads and free file hosting. Share videos, pictures, etc.
you may use http://www.ftp4net.com too. With ftp4net.com, you can access any FTP account through a Web interface – no matter whether there is a firewall or not. You can use ftp4net for the complete administration of your homepage, downloading files or just making small changes.Its a total web based ftp solution.
Can you add http://www.webuploads.com, it has a unique and very simple interface. It also offer users 150 mb upload limit.
You should add http://www.MyOtherDrive.com. They have both online backup and file sharing.
Their free accounts start at 5GB.
They offer 128-bit encryption and scheduled unattended backup operation. They also offer public and private file sharing. Their private sharing allows me to control who can view my shared files. Nice touch.
Recently, they added ability to transfer files between accounts – backend to backend, no bandwidth copy – amazingly fast – way cool.
I thought google was going to offer free file hosting upton 1gig is that not the case?

Try verzend.be:
- 1GB size limit
