Get 4shared Premium fileshare hosting for free

Dear readers,

Still looking for that hosted solution? - then this might be something for you, a solution which provides 10GB for "FREE" with fair terms.

4shared is a hosted solution for easy management and accessibility for your files, a file share hosting service that provides many different solutions.

• Desktop application access
• Easy manageable web interface
• Access via WebDAV

The 4shared desktop is similar to the familiar Windows Explorer and allows easy handling of the online files. One can move, copy, rename, paste a file or directory, create a sub-domain and can even see a live preview on most multimedia file formats. Multiple files can be selected at once and downloaded as a zip file or create an archive but it will only support one stream. Upload and download from 4shared desktop application is achieved by using multiple connections for each file, so the speed increases dramatically. Premium users can share direct download links, which is a very welcome feature for the downloader, and benefit from downloading without waiting time from the appropriate file download page. On the other hand, using the download page, you can get feedbacks from the downloaders in form of comments and file rating that can be posted there if you allow this function. Another cool feature is sharing on social sites. Once a new file have been released it can be automatically shared on Twitter, Facebook and Co. so that friends remain up to date. 4shared Desktop supports drag 'n drop and the use of proxies. Also, you can create a list of favorites. A trash can function in case that one has accidentally deleted something and wants to undo is included. An infinite number of sub-folders to gain a clear directory structure can be created. The user interface is clearly designed, similar to the online version. Uploads and downloads with detailed information about the path and time history gives you a helpful overview. Subscribing through RSS feeds to each directory is also supported. This is especially cool if you have uploaded pictures to see them in the feed as thumbnails. Furthermore, embedding a download folder in a web page, creating widgets, embed SWF, video and audio can be easily done with the given html and bb codes. Online zip and unzip are other highlights of 4shared. The program, as well as the online version, is currently available in 16 languages. After a brief settling-in period one becomes quickly familiar with all the features that the application offers.
