Files-Upload.com, free unlimited transfer and storage

by Ryan Carter (RSS feed) Nov 12th 2006 at 1:32PM

Files-Upload will let you upload up to a 1GB file unlimited times and unlimited storage on their site, and you can do it using your favorite FTP program. The catch here is that your files will only be retained for 6 months since the last download of that file. If you don't feel like downloading files every six months, you will lose files. Files-Upload offers a free subdomain "myname.files-upload.com" for easy access to those files. There is also a web interface to upload files if you want, but hey who wouldn't want to use FTP for most things? Either way, and even with the 6 month half-life of your files, FREE is a hard price to beat to only have to do a re-download every 6 months to keep them alive. Worth it, don't you think?

This looks like a good service but like so many of them there is a 'catch' if you don't use the files it gets deleted. Therefore it is useless for trying to store things like photos.

A site that I have used for my photos is Photomax who is owned by a fortune 500 company. The store the photos on parallel hard drives in a security vault somewhere in the rocky mountains. They give you 5GB of free space and will never delete any files unless you do it yourself. They are worth checking out

I look forward to the day that I dont need to have a personal hard drive anymore!

This service sounded just like what i was looking for. So I signed up. Well it turns out it's not that great after all. I went to upload my first file, and I get an error message from them. It says FTP Temporarly not available. Try again in 1-2 days. Hmmm doesn't sound like its that reliable of a service after all...

Thanks for the helpful information!!

I, too, on your sayso, clicked right over to this site and signed up. Nice clean interface. And then, I saw the FTP "Temporary Unavailable" message. Just the first ungrammatical English I was to encounter. Then I discovered, by uploading a file and clicking to their "file catalog," that unless I go back and password-protect the file, anybody can download it. Even Yahoo gives you private storage unless you mark files for sharing. Who are these people -- I'm not a xenophobe, but their FAQ sounds like it was written by Borat. You're not enhancing your reputation by recommending sloppy sites, dude. I'm outahere.

Bah, use Picasa Web Albums or Flickr for photos. These up and coming non-sites are low quality crap.

Level Up! A platform-hopping RPG Time-Waster

I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before. Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...
