Previously, on my tutorial about sharing large file on the web using MegaUpload service, I’ve promised that I’d wrote another tutorial for another similar large file sharing service. So here it goes.

This time we’re going to try SaveFile. The file size limit and the time limit is lowered than MegaUpload, only 60MB file size and 14 days (no one download the uploaded file for 14 days). Compared with MegaUpload who gives 250MB file size limit and 30 days time limit. So why I choose SaveFile for this tutorial? Because not many people use this service yet, so you might get much better download speed compare with other similar service.

Quoted from their website:

This service can be used for uploading files up to 60MB each. After uploading you will be given a link, that others can use to download your file. Our filesize limit is 60MB and each file can be downloaded unlimited times.
Savefile is completly free to use, hope you will enjoy our service.

Uploading File tutorial

1. As usual, let’s start by going to SaveFile website. Click on Upload My File button on the bottom of the page.

   

2. On the next page, you’ll be asked to choose between Standard or Member section. If you have time to spend with the registration, choose Member. But if not, just choose Standard. Both are free, but Member option gives several extra features. This tutorial will go with the Standard option.

   

3. Now, we enter the information about the file we’re going to upload. Click on Browse to choose the file. Then enter the title and the description of the file on the Title and Description textbox. Don’t forget to type the correct security code (all number I guess). Click Upload File when you’re ready to upload the file.

   

4. Just wait until the upload process finish. Unfortunately, there’s no progress bar like MegaUpload, but you’ll be redirected to a new page when it finished. This page will contains the URL to download the file you’ve just uploaded.

   

Not hard isn’t it? :))
