Free File Storage and Hosting
Store your files on the Internet and access them anywhere
Free File Hosting and Storage
The free file sharing services listed on this page provide you with free file storage or hosting. They are a convenient way for you to share files with your friends or colleagues, especially if your files are too big to send as an attachment by email. (The usual problem is that even if the email provider gives you enough space, you don't know if your friend/colleague has enough space left in his/her account to receive your attachment.)
Free file storage hosts often impose limits. For example, some sites have a limit on the individual file sizes, others on the number of times they can be downloaded, etc. In addition, it's best not to place files with confidential data on such file storage hosts, for obvious reasons. Remember to read the terms and conditions of each host before signing up. Even when I list the features, restrictions or limitations of the host on this page, you should always read the file storage host's own documentation since I don't list everything and my list may be outdated by the time you read it.
Note: if you need to put up a lot of files online, you may be better off
using a commercial online storage service that provides file sharing like
ElephantDrive.
Or get your own web hosting account.

Free File Storage Hosts
- YouSendIt
This service lets you send files to another person by uploading it (using your browser) to their system. The free version of their services gives you up to 2 GB of total storage for your files with a maximum of 50 MB per individual file. (Actually, the documentation says the limit is 50 MB per file, but the main page appears to let you send files of up to 100 MB. Other parts of the system also say you can store up to 1 GB of files instead of 2 GB. I'm not sure which of these numbers is the latest.) Your files are stored for 7 days, and can be downloaded for up to 100 times. (They also have paid versions that increase these limits, provide a "return receipt" notification when your files are downloaded by the people you've sent it to, allow you to set an upload page where others can upload files to you, etc.)
- Verzend.be
You can send files of up to 1 GB to another person by uploading it to their server. The file can be of any type: documents, photos, audio files (such as MP3s), etc. An email message will be sent to the person you indicate with the URL of the file to be downloaded. The file will be deleted after 7 days of non-activity.
- fileUPYOURS
This free file storage host allows you to store up to 200 MB of files. You can organise your files into folders, rename files, delete them and create thumbnails of images.
- bonpoo
This file transfer service allows you to upload files up to 50 MB for transferring to others via email.
- Turbo Upload
This file storage host allows you to upload up to 200 MB. You may use this space for a maximum of 3 files.
- TransferBIGFiles
This free file storage host is designed primarily for people who want to send large files to their friends via email. Instead of sending the file by attachment and clogging up their mail box, you can use this host's interface to upload your file and send a message to your friend with the link to the file. Based on information from other users, there is apparently a limit of 1 GB to the file size, and your files are deleted after 5 days or 20 downloads.
