Dropbox is a magnificent service to use if you need share a collection of documents, images or any other file type out there with another person or a group of people. While I have been using Carbonite for some time as my personal off-site backup solution – I didn’t really have a way to share big files with other people. Carbonite fixed that problem for me because it really allows you to simply share anything you need to pass along.

Really Simple File Sharing with Dropbox
Quick Publishing with Pen.io
For many people, the idea of purchasing a web hosting account, registering a domain and then uploading some type of script like WordPress to handle the back end of things is a rather challenging task. Thank goodness there are still resources like pen.io that make it easy to publish just about anything you want to online.
Quicker Flickr Picture Uploading
Flickr is a great way to share your photos online, but using the browser tools might seem a little cumbersome to some people out there. If you want to upload photos directly from your PC to Flickr with only a few clicks in between, then you need the Flickr Uploadr.
One Click Free Image Hosting
Now there are too many free image hosts out there on the Web today to name, so if you want to impress you had better do something slightly different than all the rest. Pict does that job very well, by shortening the free image hosting process to one step.
How simple is it? All you do is click on one of the empty “Upload Image” boxes, select the image, wait and you are done.
Really, that is it. No more. It is that simple. How simple? This is such an easy image uploading process that Picamatic decided to do almost the same exact thing.
News Meets Photo Uploads and Link Shortening
A mashup of link sharing plus news aggregation, Virl is a place to shorten your URLs, upload photos, and spread the news.
The first thing you see when you check out the site is this blue monster guy asking you what you would like to do? You can tell it you want to upload a photo or shorten a URL. Pretty simple right?
Well that is only half the web site. The other half gives you the popular posts from a number of different resources, like Digg, Delicious, Reddit, Hulu, Yahoo Buzz and more.
A virtual mix of both link sharing and shortening – this web site has a lot of potential, however my first suggestion would be to shrink down their monster guy on the top of the page. Why? There is no way I would want to scroll that far down every time I check out the page to see some of the popular headlines out there from their various news sources listed on the site. Go see how viral Virl is for you.
Just Another Free File Host?
Boasting of all the bandwidth and space they have for you to use, Sharenload is a new free file hosting service, that seems to round the bases when it comes to the basic features you come to expect from a free file host.
- FAQ? Got you covered.
- Upload box? Yes, it is there.
- Way to upgrade to a more premium service? Got that too!
As it slides into home plate, it looks to have everything you might be looking for in a free file host. Of course, the terms or service says you should not upload any adult or copyrighted material. Also, while we are talking about limits, you can upload up to 2048 MB and up to 5 files at a time. By clicking on the “advanced” link via their upload form, you are also given a way to e-mail and password protect your upload too.
So, if you are looking to support a new free file host, Sharenload delivers all the basics you would come to expect, living up to their moto – just another file host.
Send 2GB of Files Free from Filemail
You should all know by now I am a glutton when it comes to the free file hosting services out there. I just can’t seem to get enough. The newest service to fill my file sharing gut would be Filemail.com. The actual file uploading and sharing part of the site is very slick looking. You have an e-mail/uploader interface that works well together. Here it is in all it’s glory…
This is the e-mail like interface, that lets you quickly drop in an address and then a message to your buddy your sending the file to.
This second section of the upload interface gives you an easy to understand interface when it comes to setting permissions, limits and uploading the files you wish to share. If you like the service I would suggest that you register – but for those who do not wish to you can send up to 2GB without doing so.
Filemail.com is it a hit or a miss?
Easy Free Storage with File Qube
It is always a good sign when a web site has a name you could use as a way to describe it. You know, such as grab me a Pop-tart instead of grab me a toaster pastry. To add to that list, we have File Qube. I am sure it is these guys dream to have you one day say, “Hey go stick that in your File Qube” and after checking it out, you might just be doing that in the near future.
File Qube is a free online storage spot that allows you to upload your files and share them with your friends, family and other random strangers. Your max filesize per upload is 150 MB and if you sign up they bump it up to 500 MB. Also after signing up you get 2 GB of disk space to use for all of your uploads.
Check out some of the other features and then sign up to give it a shot.
UploadPedia
I have another free hosting tool that you might want to give for a spin. UploadPedia is the most recent to catch my attention. You can upload up to 100 files at once, with the max being 100 MB. One interesting thing that they do is list all the top downloads and recent downloads that have been added to their service. If you are looking for privacy, this might not be the uploader for you. They do have a way to password protect your uploads though, so you don’t have to share if you do not want to. You can also search the files that have been uploaded too. From their terms of service, it looks like they accept any type of file, as long as it is not pornographic or copyrighted (or I guess both).
zShare Your Files
Stupid and cute names usually get on my nerves, but with this free hosting service, it is kind of hard to stay mad at zShare for long. Here is what they are providing.
With zSHARE you can upload files, images, videos, audio and flash for free. Simply use the upload form below and start sharing! You can also use zSHARE as your personal file storage: backup your data and protect your files.
They are advertising “free unlimited downloads” but as I have said time and time before, there is no such thing as “unlimited” in hosting. Up to 100 MB is your file limit as well, so you might find a limit there if you want to share really big files. Overall, zShare isn’t too bad and I really like the simple layout of the Web site in general.
