Free File Storage and Hosting
Store your files on the Internet and access them anywhere
Free File Hosting and Storage
The web hosts listed on this page provide you with free file storage or hosting. The usual free web hosts normally do not allow you to use their free disk space to store your files without also having a website, since this will eat up their bandwidth without a corresponding benefit of advertising revenue. The hosts listed here however specifically cater to storing your files or documents and allowing you, and possibly others, to download those files from a link that is generated for you. You can thus use these hosts to store things that you want to access anywhere in the world or to keep files that you want to make available for others to download or use them to store files that are too large to send by attachment to your friends.
Note though that such free file storage hosts often impose limits. For example, some places have a limitation on the file sizes uploaded and downloaded, and so on. You should probably also not 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this page, you should read the file storage host's own documentation since I don't list everything and my list may be outdated by the time you read it.
An alternative to using a file storage host is to pay for an account on a cheap commercial web host. Your only limitation then would be the space allocated and data transfer (bandwidth) limits, both of which you can probably increase if you opt for a more expensive plan. You will also not be subject to the advertisements of the free file storage hosts.

- up.li.ru
This is a free image host that allows you to upload your images, which, I think, you can hotlink from your website. The site does not seem to specify how large your files can be or how long they can be kept, but a user informs me that the files are limited to 32 MB and they are deleted after 3 days for a normal file or after 2 months if the file has a JPG or PNG extension.
- FileFront
This free file host provides you with unlimited file uploads and downloads, unlimited bandwidth and unlimited space. Although I could not find the information on their site, there is a file size limit of 1 GB, and your file cannot take more than 10 hours to upload. You can give the public access to any of your files.
- Sendmefile
You are allowed to upload files of up to 50 MB per file with this free file storage host. Your files are deleted after 14 days of inactivity.

The maximum file size allowed for this free file storage host is 250 MB. Your file is deleted if no one downloads it for 30 days.
- Turbo Upload
This file storage host allows you to upload files with a maximum size of 70 MB.
- SaveFile
This file hosting site allows you to upload files up to 60 MB each. Inactive files are deleted after 14 days (or 10 days for what the site calls "extreme cases", whatever that means). Hotlinking is not allowed.
- 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.
