Online File Hosting Means No More Sharing Through Email
Sharing files, whether they are your latest vacation photos or important work documents, has never been easier than with MyOtherDrive. Let us show you how our free service is the best way to share files with others.
The Problems With Email Attachments
Even with all the free file sharing options out there people still use email attachments as the most common method of file sharing. This method of sharing files has its problems. Large files can take a long time to send or receive and most email systems limit the size of attachments to under 10MB. Even if you have a blazingly fast Internet connection, what about each of the people receiving the files? Slow dialup Internet connections are still quite common and your recipients won't appreciate having their phone lines tied up for an hour downloading a large file they might not even need. Not only that, but many email systems are taking precautions against the spread of viruses. Often virus protection program will remove attachments such as zip files or Word documents to protect their users from malicious software.
Online File Sharing To The Rescue
The best way to share a file is to upload it to a file hosting site then send the person the address to download it. That used to mean you had your own FTP server and that left many people without any option of sharing. Another problem with using a public FTP server is that anyone with the address of the file could download it but that's not the case at MyOtherDrive. MyOtherDrive offers free online file sharing so you can store your files on our site and other people can download them at their convenience. When you use our free online file sharing service you decide the access level of each of your files. If you want to share pictures of your dog with the world, that's fine. If you want to restrict access to personal or business documents only to certain people, you can do that as well. You control the level of access to all of your shared files.
File Sharing Helps Small Businesses
Small and even large businesses use free online file storage as an efficient and secure way to share important data among employees and clients. Hosting your own file server is expensive and time consuming. Small operations may not be able to afford a full time IT person to manage these servers. We have many business clients who love the secure and easy file access we provide. Businesses find that using our service has another benefit: online backup. While copies of their files are stored on our servers, they are protected against disaster. Even if both the business and the client manage to lose the file, they can still download the online copy to replace it. Residential customers appreciate the protection as well. Start using MyOtherDrive's free online file sharing and see just how easy and safe it is to share information over the Internet. If you need more space than the free 2GB you can also upgrade to one of our reasonably priced plans.
