Badonogo One-click File Sharing Service Provider

Another provider, badonogo.com, offers a similar service, also with a paid premium alternative. With its turbo account there are no download limitations, compared to a maximum of 150 MB per hour for the free service. Pricing starts at $5.99 a month and the download starts instantly, compared to a 30-second waiting period for the free service. You can protect your files with a password and they are never deleted, compared to automatic deletion after 30 days of inactivity for the free service.

Another provider, sendspace.com, offers lite and max accounts. The max accounts allow a daily download limit of 46 GB, compared to 1 GB for its free lite account. The max account starts at $5.99 and offers unlimited file availability, compared to deletion after seven days of inactivity for the free account. It allows you to upload files up to 300 MB each, because their experience has shown that files larger than that may be difficult for some users to upload and download. Such large files need to be split into smaller segments.

Paid Premium Alternative

Its free service provides your own inbox, sent files history and address book, with 100 downloads per file. Its paid service has no ads on your pages, three-day email support, tracked downloads, 200 downloads per file and up to 2GB of files sent for $4.99 a month.

Password Protection Available

If you're worried about your files being accessed by unauthorized individuals, most providers have a password protection service. They all have terms of use and cut off any users abusing the service. If you want to read what users have said about the various services, check out online reviews at such sites as filehostingreview.com and softplatz.com

If you're new to this Internet activity it's probably best to try the free services of a couple of providers first to get a feel for them, and then if you find you're into megauploads, try one of the paid services and see how it goes.

As usual, the younger generation was the first to catch on to this service, with sharing music and music videos their major activities. But the world of free file sharing soon expanded and now it spans all age groups and walks of life.
