The Rapidshare file host provides users with a comfortable way to upload files securely to the Internet. The file limit for free users is 100 Megabytes and users will receive a unique address pointing to their uploaded files so that other users can download it from there. A click on the browse button on the Rapidshare homepage will start the process of uploading files to Rapidshare. It will open a file browser that can be used to pick a file on the local computer that should be uploaded. Clicking on the upload button will transfer the selected file to Rapidshare. Once the uploading process is complete, a new window will appear containing both a delete link and save link. I recommend saving both links because it will allow you to delete the file later or download it again in the future. Your file can now be send to your friends and family simply by pasting the download link in an e-mail. The RapidShare site also offers an e-mail form that will allow you to send your file. It is generally recommended to avoid downloading and uploading files at the same time as an error in one connection will affect the other as well meaning that both processes will stop. It is also a good idea to stop bandwidth intensive tasks while uploading to the file hoster to speed up the upload. Most users that upload files to Rapidshare do it to share the files with other users. There are however some users who upload movies, games or music to Rapidshare because of the large file size offered by the service. Some users exploit the large file size limit of Rapidshare by uploading copyrighted files to the file hoster. Rapidshare was already involved in several law suits because of this behavior. The site will delete files of this nature that violate copyright laws if discovered, but users have side-stepped this by changing the name of the file upon uploading to something non-suspicious. It is usually advised to avoid titles that might hint at copyright violations even if the files are not copyrighted at all. It is also common to upload files larger than 100 Megabytes as multiple parts by using archivers. It does not get much easier to upload files to the Internet. Rapidshare provides a comfortable way of making files available on the Internet even for users with little Internet experience.
