My Favorite Filesharing Services

18 11 2006

A good filehost is important for use in many different applications.  It can help you to share large files with friends and colleagues, and can really be useful in more life-saving applications, such as backups.  I use these services to accomplish both, although I do admit I rely on them heavily in parallel with my backup scripts; I get a nightly backup of each of my MySQL databases to multiple email accounts, as well as to FTP.  I know it's super-redundant to happen this way, but I learned my lesson from the past.  Plus, this level of redundancy is pretty nice.  Here is a list of some of the file hosts that I use, and will update the table later with more details.
