Top Five Alternatives OF MegaUpload
1. Rapidshare
After the shutdown of megaupload, The next File sharing website that came into my mind was Rapidshare because it too allows you to upload large files and send link to your friends / readers to download them. First register at Rapidshare and then after doing that you can upload large files and keep them stored for as much time you want. After your file has been uploaded you get a short URL that you can send to your friends so that they can download it from any part of the world. The Rapidshare also gives a RapidPro membership option ($13/ month to $130/ year) in that your files will never expire and your files will be encrypted and you will be able to download your files instantly without waiting.
2. Mediafire
Mediafire offers one of the most simplest methods of uploading files , just drag and drop.They offer unlimited file storage but you are limited to upload files no longer than 200MB at a time (With Free Account). Your files will be active for a short period of time (usually a month). But if you can buy a Mediafire Pro account ($9/month) Than you can upload files upto 2GB at a time and they will never expire, They will be ad-free and Mediafire Pro also allows your Readers/ Friends to upload files for you so that you can review them later.
