Free File Hosting

This web page lists websites offering free file hosting service for remote hosting of files - filetypes not usually supported by most free image hosts, yet not as wide-ranging as what most website hosting services would allow to be hosted. The free file hosts in the directory list below allow free hosting of video files, audio/music files, Adobe Acrobat documents (PDF), and/or compressed archives such as ZIP files. Generally these free web hosting services are operated on dedicated servers due to their popularity and high bandwidth usage required.

Free File Hosting - Host-A

Host-A.net is a free file hosting service for anybody who wants to upload their files or content for public exhibition or private downloading. The free file uploader accepts all file types (games, songs, audios, photos, videos, compressed archive files, etc.), and hosted files are kept until the user removes them. In order to use the free file host, registration is required (instant activation), and uses are given 20 mb of free file storage space to upload files to, and a subfolder URL which lists their public files that can be downloaded. You are given 550 MB of bandwidth/month, but can earn more by using their referral system -- for each user you refer to Host-A, you will earn 100 MB of additional bandwidth; also if a user views your profile page or downloads a file from your free hosting account, and signs up afterwards, you are credited for that. You can upload up to 10 files at once, and mark them as private or public. Hosted files have download counters to record the number of file downloads (you cannot direct link the hosted file though). Account add-ons (upgrade) are available via donation.

Free File Hosting - ADrive

ADrive.com offers 50GB of free online storage and backup for all file types. Store your files with ADrive and access, manage and edit them from any computer. ADrive is a relative newcomer to the online storage game, at least compared to the other sites in this review. That shows in both the pricing and features because ADrive seems to be more current in both areas than most of the other services we reviewed. ADrive has full support for file sharing and file history. The service can even go over your file history and recover files. This is especially nice if you are frequently pulling documents off your online storage, editing them and uploading them again. ADrive provides access to the Zoho Online Document Editor so that you don’t even need to download your files to a computer hard drive to access them and edit them. This is a wonderfully useful tool, especially if you are using a public or bare-bones computer that might not have document editing software. Plus, it’s just more convenient even if you do have editing software. You can make changes right in Zoho and save; you’re done.

Free File Hosting - FileMonster

The anonymous uploads not downloaded or accessed in 30 days will be deleted from the web server. Free registration is available for users wanting extra features and privledges. The premium hosting accounts support file download accelerators such as Speedget, Download Accelerator Plus, GetRight, GoZilla, and FlashGet.

Free File Hosting - FileAve

FileAve.com is a free file host and web host which gives users 50 MB file storage space on free hosting accounts, and 150 MB bandwidth/day (about 4.5 GB/month).

All file types are permitted, but no scripting is allowed. The HTML codes are automatically generated for embedding music/videos/images on webpages -- hotlinking (direct linking/ external linking) files is allowed. Once you have uploaded a song, music, or video file, you can use the "Get Codes" link to generate EMBED tags that can be used on other websites to play the music/video file. The filehosting account includes a free subdomain, such as yourname.fileave.com, in which you can make a free home page. You can create your own folders/directories to organize your files, or just upload files into the root folder. FileAve.com is a sister site to Ripway.com (owned and operated by Ripside Interactive, a free web hosting company since 1999), and their dedicated webhosting servers are located in a highly secure datacenter, with redundant storage, multiple connections to the internet, and a large cluster of web servers to maintain hosting reliability. Account creation is instant (registration required). Freehosting accounts that are inactive for more than 60 days (2 months) will be removed from the webservers, but their TOS reccommends to log in to your account at least once a month to keep it active. Accounts can have paid upgrades to increase the file storagespace and daily data transfer limits.
