There are umpteen numbers of file-hosting sites on the internet. If you had to choose one to upload your file, which one would you select? What if the file could only be accessed by some of the intended recipients? You would have to upload your file to another site.
Uploading files to many sites is a tedious task. You’ll have to visit each site and individually upload your file there. This is a time-consuming and irritating task. It would be so much better for you to upload the file once and watch it show up on multiple sites.

The creator of RapidWareX send me an email about his new Rapidshare Downloading Tool for premium users that he developed and published at Google Code. The first public beta was released just two days ago and it already received some acknowledgment from various websites.

The file syncing and hosting service DropBox was covered before at Ghacks and I recently had to check it out again because I needed a way to sync some files with a business partner of mine. Dropbox uses a combination of software client and web client which provide both access to the files unlike normal file hosts like Rapidshare who provide no way to sync files across computers.

A couple of days ago, I wrote about Uploadjockey, which allows you to upload a file to many of the popular file-hosting sites at one time. I also asked readers for their suggestions and was pleasantly surprised to find there are quite a number of multiple file-hosting sites available. I decided to try out the sites mentioned and am writing about my experiences.

I have a subscription for a startup magazine who upload articles from old issues to their server on the Internet. The documents are in pdf format with each article having its own pdf document. This gets a little bit messy with twenty plus articles per issue as you can guess.

Tinyload is an advanced script which makes it possible to upload to upload files with a size of up to 100 Megabytes to a maximum of twelve file hosters at once. Uploading files to multiple file hosters has several advantages such as backup locations if a file expires or gets deleted at one hoster for instance. Some hosters have a transfer limit which can also be overcome by uploading it to several file hosters.

One application to rule them all. If you regularly take screenshots of Windows or the Desktop, edit them afterwards and upload them to a free image host you might find SHUP helpful. The software has all those functions build in which means you do not have to open two or three applications to do the same.
