I am uploading stuff on a daily basis, I’m a music freak and I want to share my stuff with my friends. So I naturally tried all the methods available so I’d thought I should make a comparison between the three largest upload services online.


FileDropper -After hearing about it on digg, I decided I should give this one a try. Apart from the free account, there are 3 cheap paid options offered. Upload speed was rocketing, download went effortlessly and fast. I also tried the paid account, since it has a good price for what it offers.

Signing up as a member of File Dropper gives you some great benefits. You’ll be able to keep track of your files in a handy file manager, add password protection for downloading, mark files as private (only you can download them), and delete unwanted Files. Filedropper.com is offering this service to better help out file hosting users, and the prices are nominal to cover the cost of bandwidth and storage space.

Unlike other sites there are no count down times to download files, and no excessive push to make you sign up for paid accounts like other sites.

Megaupload - is probably one of the annoying services of this kind. A premium account is great for you but when you upload something and send it to your friends, they have to wait for a slot to clear, which almost never does. You get 250 gigs of file storage with a $9.99 monthly fee. It’s probably one of the slowest services I have tried, particularly in the download area. If you don’t have a US, UK, or Canada based IP, you’re in for a long wait. No wonder no one really uses it.



Rapidshare - is one of the most popular options for downloading or uploading files, doing pretty good at the time. The monthly account is around 10 euro and provides some good options for premium users. But when it comes to the free user, the road is a bit rocky. After downloading a file, small or large, you are hit with a time restriction. You’re not allowed to download another file, no matter the size. Again, a service good for uploaders but not indicated for those downloading several files.
