Online file hosts can be useful when your device gets filled with a lot of crappy files, yet they are important. You can upload your files to the host and access them from anywhere in the world without keeping all your devices with you. Some file hosts ask for money to store your files but many of them are also free.

Megaupload has also been shutted down so people need an alternative online file storage service.

Here’s the list of top 10 Free file hosting services:

1.  Media Fire:

  • File storage: Unlimited.
  • File size limit: 200 MB.
  • File sharing: Yes.
  • Long Term storage: No (Limited time storage for unused files).
  • No. of custom folder links: 1

Media Fire’s probably the best in terms of file storage and file sharing in which you don’t have no wait for the download to start and no max parallel downloads limit.

2.  File Factory:

  • File storage: 500 GB
  • File size limit: 2000 MB
  • File sharing: Yes.
  • Long term storage: No (File deleted after 90 days if not downloaded).
  • No. of custom folder links: 1

File Factory is a better file hosting service as compared to many others in terms of file storage and you can also make money whenever someone downloads your uploaded files.

3.  ADrive:

  • File storage: 50 GB
  • Remote File transfer: Yes.
  • File sharing: Yes.
  • With a Zoho Editor.
  • Search Tool: Yes.

4.  Windows Live SkyDrive:

  • File storage: 25 GB
  • File size limit: 200 MB
  • File sharing: Yes.
  • With a Built-In Microsoft Office.
  • Windows live ID to get access to files.

Windows Live SkyDrive is really distinct from other file hosting services because it features a really good Microsoft Office app and runs on HTML 5 or Silverlight. The bad thing is that is does not feature a desktop based client.

5.  4shared:

  • File storage: 10 GB
  • Traffic bandwidth: Unlimited
  • File sharing: Yes.
  • Searchable by public: Yes

Better than nothing. It has 4sync which makes files convenient to sync.
