Need GOOD file sharing on net!

[macx]

Been trying to get Putfile to work, just a battle
to get anything to work as far as getting URLs
that actually connect to the files out of the darn thing.

Been trying to send some large files to an individual,
tried copy/paste the folder URL, he couldn't open.

Even had problems copy/paste the URL for any file
even, their "copy" button won't work for me.

(Firefox latest, XP home)

Tired of fighting with it, can't send anything to anybody
so a waste of time uploading anything.

Anything "out there" that actually works?

Thanks!

Uhm if file sharing you mean picture/video hosting that lets makes html code for you so you can post them on the internet then photobucket.com

It's actually a mix of things - not all pics & video clips.

Some Word or Excel or pdf, too.

My daughter uses Photobucket and likes it, I'll have
to check it out I guess.

Thanks!

mediafire free
megaupload free
rapidshare free
you don't say the size of files your dealing with
fastest upload for me is mediafire
then rapidshare
there's another that can hold a 3gb file megashares
can use a download manager with that one but slow up and down
imaging place sites only do that images
very low file size's

Thanks!

I'd done a little searching but don't remember seeing
any of those.

Nothing huge on file sizes, mostly in the few mb range.
Maybe a moderate sized Powerpoint slideshow or
short home videoclip on occasion.

who ever is your provider
if you are on dsl or cable most isp's give you small website to host your stuff

Afraid that wouldn't work in my case.

My work takes me to different locations for months
at a time but I'm seldom in one place for much over
a year, so am constantly changing providers.

rapidshare is the way to go

 

[Samstoned]

setup your own server and use no-ip or nodns services its free
takes about 5min to change dns ip address's
anglefire may be a choice
man there' got to be dozens

 

[macx]

Never dabbled in stuff like that,
but no time like the present to
maybe learn something!

I'll give it a look.

Thanks!

I used mediafire back in december to get 297 megs of video from where I work to a professor at Carnegie Mellon University (you'd think my university would have been able to help me with that, but no. what was internet2 for again?)

I rar'd up the video into 3 segments and placed them on mediafire, I got good upload speeds, 450+ kB/sec , which is about as good as I can do on speedtests from work.

 

[macx]

That's pretty good.

I probly spent more time than that just trying to get Putfile to work
the other nite! :-/
