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. Click on the free filehost name to go to the review page where you can see more info, and read and leave reviews and ratings of each free file hosting web site.
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). That is the daily data transfer for external linking (file downloads by others), but all users have unlimited access to their own files through the control panel. You can host 50 MB of your videos, music clips, Flash animations, WAV files, and images for use anywhere, such as LiveJournal, eBay auction listings, MySpace, Xanga, photographers, sharing your files, homework, and more. 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.
- DataFileHost - Data File Host features free file sharing services with no registration needed (anonymous uploading free), and all file types supported. The maximum file size allowed is 25MB (25 MB per file). There is no limit on bandwidth or number of downloads allowed (unlimited bandwidth). Inactive files (no downloads) are deleted from the DataFileHost free servers after 30 days. There is a stats counter on the file download page to show how many times the hosted file was downloaded. There are no hosting restrictions such as a limited number of simultaneous downloads or limited file download speed.
- Fast-Files - Fast-Files.com is a free files hosting server allowing easy, anonymous uploading of any files up to a maximum file size of 500 MB (no login required). There is a box beneath the file uploader that has an upload progress bar which will show the upload time elapsed and estimated time remaining to finish uploading (useful for large files). All file extensions are allowed, and the free file host allows unlimited bandwidth and unlimited downloads. It features an AJAX upload form which updates dynamically, so the web site will not ever timeout if you are on a slow connection uploading. Hosted files will not be deleted until the web hosting server becomes full (the server disk drives currently have about 1.5 terabytes of file storage space), and then files will be deleted by priority as new files come in (the oldest files with the fewest downloads get deleted first). Files which are downloaded regularly never get deleted from the webserver. On the file download page, you have to enter a captcha code and then wait for a 20-seconds delay counter before you can download the file.
