Free Megaupload Alternatives

The most popular file sharing site of all time, MegaUpload is permanently down due to a criminal sting super headed by United States department of justice. Before the site got down, it accounted for almost four percent of total internet traffic with over 50 million visitors a day, according to DoJ. Now, when this site is no more, you all would be looking for some alternatives to share your files and to download files and content for free just as you used to do with MegaUpload. So here’s a list of 7 free megaupload alternatives, which provides you all the facilities like MegaUpload for free to share your files with public and to download the content shared by others.

1. Rapidshare: Rapidshare tops this list of free megaupload alternatives because of the popularity and the similarity to MegaUpload. This website lets you upload files of unlimited size and gives you unlimited disk space. At the same time, you can share your uploaded file link by email, twitter or Facebook. But if you are a free user, the files you upload, get deleted after a certain period of time. If you want to use this as a cloud storage service, you can upgrade your account to Rapidpro for about $40 for 150 days or $130 for two years.

2. Mediafire: Mediafire can be termed as a stripped-down version of Rapidshare with unlimited storage. But the maximum upload size at one time is 2 GB for free user. Just like Rapidshare, your files as a free user get deleted after a certain time. To get rid of this, you can upgrade to Pro Account for $ 9 a month, which also increases max upload size to 4 GB. The files stored at Mediafire are shared using a link provided by the website.

3. Dropbox: Another popular cloud storage service with a max storage limit of 2 GB. The files can be shared with anyone using your public folder or other Dropbox users via email invitations. The storage limit can be upgraded to 50 GB for 10$ a month and 100 GB for 20$ a month.

4. Box: Just as Dropbox, Box is a also a cloud storage service with a max storage limit of 5 GB, the files can be shared by a direct link and also the users can invite their contacts by email to view the contents of a full folder. The maximum upload size for a free user is 25 MB. This can be increased by buying Pro membership. Pro users can up their upload limit to 1 GB-per-file for 10$ a month, which further increases the storage limit to 25 GB or $ 20 for 50 GB.

5. Filesonic: Filesonic offers 30 days’ time for free users, and maximum uploads of upto 1 GB. For $9 a month, user can upgrade to unlimited storage, unlimited storage time, Maximum download speed, and can upload files of upto 5 GB size. The files are shared using direct links.

6. Minus: It can be termed as one of the easiest options available. The registered users can drag and drop any files (max size 2 GB), and they get a maximum storage of 50GB. The files are shared by automatically generated links.

7. Amazon Cloud Drive: Amazon’s cloud drive gives 5 GB storage for free, which can be upgraded till 1000 GB, for $1 per GB- Per year. Certainly, one of the least expensive cloud sharing service. The biggest Downside: File sharing not allowed. If you want to share your files with someone, you need to share your amazon password.

Some other popular free file sharing services:

Microsoft Sky Drive: completely free cloud storage service. Sky Drive gives 25 GB of storage space to the users. But the downside is, max file upload size is 50 MB. Also you have to have a Hotmail account.

Won’t you be surprised after knowing that now you can use Facebook on very old mobile phones (Like Nokia 1100) too? Let me tell you, you don’t need a browser or internet enabled mobile phone to use Facebook and interact with your friends. The only thing you need is a mobile phone, which can send text messages. All you need to do is, Dial *325# (*fbk#) from your mobile phone. This service requires no internet connectivity and works even on the oldest phones of 20th century. Let’s have a look at the below image.

Fonetwish and Facebook India have together come front with a resolution of bringing Facebook on every mobile phone without requiring any third party app or even the Internet. According to Fonetwish, this service is currently available for Airtel, Aircel and Tata Docomo.

All you need to do is, to dial *325# number, you will be asked to enter your user name and password. Once you enter these basic details, you enter into your Facebook account. Once you are in, you need to send number based commands to access and explore different features of Facebook. You can even chat with the friends who are online and you can add new friends. I spent an hour exploring more and more about this service and it was real fun. With the menu available on the first sight, you can read your feed stories of status updates and activities of your friends and can chat with the friends who are online. Also you can update your status with just one click. The price for this service is very reasonable; you just need to pay a subscription fee of Rs. 1 per day for unlimited usage. So what are you waiting for? Go and enjoy this fantastic service.

How to transfer contacts from Nokia to any other Phone?

admin — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:50:38 +0000

Transferring contacts from one device to another is a handy task, especially when the devices are of two different vendors. Like you can transfer contacts between two Nokia phones using OVI online contacts, but what if you have to transfer contacts from your Nokia phone to your iPhone? Well, doing so is pretty handy tasks and it may end up taking a lot of time of yours. Also practically there is not any way using which you can do so.

The contacts in Nokia are saved on a website Ovi.com which doesn’t provide a way to export your contacts to any other platform. You can just synchronize the contacts in your Nokia device. Once you move from Nokia platform to another, your contacts are kinda locked in Nokia online cloud. So the question arises, how can we get our contacts without any Nokia device and how can we export the contacts to any other device?

Till now, neither OVI nor the desktop software (Nokia OVI suite) offered any option of exporting the contacts. But now there is an easy solution for doing so.

Nokia is discontinuing online contacts service. It means the service will still be there, but the users will not be able to explore the contacts from their desktop browser. In the same process, Nokia has started a microsite exportcontacts.ovi.com , where you can download the entire address book stored in your OVI account in CSV format. You won’t need any Nokia device or Nokia OVI desktop suite to perform this task. After downloading the CSV file, you can import It to your Google contacts and it will automatically merge the duplicate contacts.

Well, you might need to do this pretty soon, because according to a mail which was sent by Nokia to all its OVI users, Nokia will disconnect online contact service on or after Jan 24th, 2012.

admin — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 04:53:03 +0000

We all know that Internet is a huge collection of information, like music, videos, readable content, Wallpapers, PDF books, animations etc. There are separate websites for all these particular things. If we don’t know any website for some particular content, we need to search it using File Search Engine.
Have you ever thought of having a website which can fulfill all your needs of downloading almost all the content from one place? Well, in this post I am going to review two such websites where you can find almost everything that you need. Those 2 websites are General-files.com and General-catalog.com. Both these websites are having billions of files listed under different categories and each day plenty of files are newly added by the users and the crawlers.
To search for a particular file, you just need to enter its name or keyword, select the category and click search. All the results matching your keyword will be listed below and you can choose according to your need. That’s not all, you can also trying exploring different given tabs like hot downloads, recently added files, most downloaded files etc. This helps you being aware of the trend what is going on in world. You come to know what others are downloading at the moment. In the right hand side, the list of categories is given. Like if you want to download wallpapers of hot chicks, you can click on 3D models and you’ll get a huge collection of the animations and wallpapers of popular actresses and models. General-catalog.com is more visual and easy to explore free software directory.
There are some techies who’d still prefer popular file sharing websites like Rapidshare, files4u to get trusted files. You may get trusted content from those websites, but there are some factors which annoy you, like waiting time before a download starts and the low download speed. To get rid of that, you need to be a premium member of those websites. And it does cost a bit, so you might not be interested in buying the premium membership. So here’s software that lets you download files from any file sharing website without waiting for a single second with the highest possible downloading speed. The name of the software is General Downloader. All these 3, General Files, General catalog and General Downloader are together known as General Family.

Facebook Timeline goes public. Grab your’s now..

admin — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 03:07:15 +0000

Heya everyone,

It has been more than 75 days, Facebook launched its revolutionary innovation named as “Facebook Timeline“. Just to check the implementation and the feedback of the users, this feature was only available for the developers on Facebook. In a press conference, before a few hours, Facebook has announced that the most awaited feature is going to be public for all the Facebook users, but you have to wait 1 more week for that.

Initially Facebook is just launching Timeline in New Zealand. This country was likely picked by the Facebook team as New Zealand is a English speaking country and collecting feedback would be much easier task. A 7 days time has been given to those users to review Facebook Timeline, in that period the only users will be able to see their timeline, their friends would be seeing their old profile as before. In this 1 week, users can switch back to old profile , but after 7 days, Timeline will be automatically published.

Once Facebook finishes with this step, Facebook Timeline will be publically available to all the 800+ million users of Facebook.

Here’s the statement, what was exactly said on the official Facebook blog…

“We announced Timeline in September and made it available to developers building apps on our platform. Since then, over a million people have signed up for the developer beta to access Timeline. The feedback we’ve received so far has been invaluable. Starting today, we are making Timeline more widely available as we measure speed and other types of performance. We’ll begin by making it available to people in New Zealand and then roll it out more broadly in the near future.”
