  • saurabhsogan007, on 03/21/2008, -44/+5kool man good job done
  • lucidguru, on 03/21/2008, -13/+34This will save me so much time... nice find.
    • xkorbin, on 03/21/2008, -15/+3yousendit.com -- free also.
      • jimmiem, on 03/21/2008, -1/+27Free to 100 MB, sure, but 5GB has to be worth some bonus points for this one.
        • xkorbin, on 03/21/2008, -1/+10Ah, yeah, they used to be free for everything. I didnt notice they added that extra bull $$
        • antdude, on 03/21/2008, -0/+6It has SSL too.
    • Dotcommer, on 03/21/2008, -1/+10Doesn't seem like there's a time limit either to the file being hosted. Can anyone confirm that?
      • TimDigg, on 03/21/2008, -0/+5eh...they just started....so no limits for now
    • javaroast, on 03/21/2008, -9/+1Pure spam from the same guy who spammed wikiphonebook.com wikiupload.com and who knows what else.
      • javaroast, on 03/21/2008, -6/+2Add twistedgaia.com lmao. All have the same IP and the same san.res.rr.com. Looks like he tried porn, search, wiki, wiki upload, and now more upload. I don't think I'll use this one. Nice try Jitendra
      • cyberoidx, on 03/21/2008, -2/+4WTF? Are you high?
        • javaroast, on 03/21/2008, -1/+3If you want to use a file service hosted on a Roadrunner connection my guess is that you are high
    • wavesmachine, on 03/21/2008, -3/+2http://filedropper.com/rickroll/
    • superal1394, on 03/21/2008, -0/+3Also notice the "Upload from URL" function. Instant mirror for dugg sites?
  • andyboyd, on 03/21/2008, -11/+27I reckon these types of services are only going to get more and more popular. Good find.
    • HigherLogic, on 03/21/2008, -0/+3It's still no substitute for a paid service...just look at free hosting. Anyways, this will still come in handy :)
      • Nimphious, on 03/21/2008, -0/+4The only problem with the paid services, is that it requires the person you're sending multiple things to, to pay the fee for the service, or becrippled by the limitations of size, quantity, frequency, etc.
      • HigherLogic, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1Er, well I wasn't talking about paid file storage in particular, just paid services in general. A paid service where only the author/uploader pays for the space, and you can do what you wish with it.
  • natdowner, on 03/21/2008, -16/+3Well I'll be damned, that is pretty simple!
  • SVOboy, on 03/21/2008, -13/+4Interesting tool, dunno if I'd ever need it though.
  • MikeonTV, on 03/21/2008, -17/+5Great ad!
  • badwithcomputer, on 03/21/2008, -8/+54i can't wait to see people start uploading full dvd rips! this site should be awesome when academy screener season rolls around again...
  • Slices, on 03/21/2008, -11/+2wow! and it gets the job done, too ;)
  • pyromanx, on 03/21/2008, -2/+20after the long wait http://filedropper.com/Komodo-Edit-4.3.0-1079/ gives me a 404. invalid characters maybe
  • SuperJesus, on 03/21/2008, -1/+29there should be a way to preview uploads before downloading...you should also have a delete link.
  • thedzigner, on 03/21/2008, -10/+4Awesome! What a great service. This will be extremely handy.
  • nbrntrt, on 03/21/2008, -2/+69Nice work.. Now all they need to add is a progress bar. Otherwise very useful.
    • badwithcomputer, on 03/21/2008, -5/+16agreed- a progress bar would be huge.
  • noseeme, on 03/21/2008, -8/+175I'm going to upload a 5 GB Unicode text file full of zeroes! Yay!
    • MasterThief117, on 03/21/2008, -66/+7If you really want to waste your bandwidth and time, then more power to you.
      At least when that is uploading, you wont have enough bandwidth to make anymore dumb posts.
      • iDiggIt42, on 03/21/2008, -3/+72I bet you're a blast at parties, aren't you?
        • xxNIRVANAxx, on 03/21/2008, -7/+1I doubt noseeme is as well.
          • noseeme, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1[*****]I have more than a few stories.[/*****]
    • Lane, on 03/21/2008, -0/+157Please post a link so we can verify it indeed is full of zeros later on at the party.
    • BigFoot48, on 03/21/2008, -1/+37The character at 7x10^5 is a "o", not a "0". Please correct and reload. Thanks!
    • TH3W1R3D, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1311 hours and still no file... Come on man, some of us urgently await that file.
    • Culyt, on 03/21/2008, -1/+1Actually that might be really quick to download if there is any kind of basic compression in use. A terabyte of zeros would be 40k with any kind of decent compression in use.
      That's basically what a zipbomb is. Small zip file, massive payload.
      • noseeme, on 03/25/2008, -1/+1Haha, yeah, I thought of that after posting, good point.
  • TalSiach, on 03/21/2008, -4/+63I wonder if people will upload porn on it.... mmm lets see what can you do with 5gb..... I would "guess" and say Yes.
    • afx1, on 03/21/2008, -2/+119porn isnt really that popular on the internet so im gonna have to say no
    • Octanus, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1Their tos says nothing against uploading porn as of this comment.
  • Doktag, on 03/21/2008, -9/+37There is one thing that scares me about this website's ultra-simplicity: there are no terms and conditions. I would be very careful about what you upload, because you might just be signing yourself up for a world of hurt.

    Until they put up a EULA, or T&C, I will wait with bated breath.
    • picpak, on 03/21/2008, -0/+31At the bottom of the page there's a "Terms" link. Right here: http://filedropper.com/tos.php
      • Doktag, on 03/21/2008, -0/+35No joke, that link wasn't there when I made that comment. Oh well, at least they took my advice.
        • antdude, on 03/21/2008, -0/+9See anything suspicious?
        • Atomic1fire, on 03/21/2008, -3/+1

          Nothing I can see
        • qwertycopter, on 03/21/2008, -0/+3Yeah, their TOS doesn't say anything about illegal files (only copyrighted files and files which are meant to harass others). It's a little suspicious.
    • carterx, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1Either-way, like Doktag's is saying, for the meantime until the site has proven it self, non-personal files should be fine. If the site goes down and disappears, you wont be panicking.... though personal files should pretty much stay off of most share site.
  • Doktag, on 03/21/2008, -5/+71Terms of Service have now been put up:

    "The following types of infringing files may not be uploaded under any circumstances:
    * Files that are pornographic. This includes nudity and sexual situations.
    * Use of any FileDropper.com service to transmit any material that infringes any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret or other proprietary rights of any third party, including, but not limited to, the unauthorized copying of copyrighted material, the digitization and distribution of photographs from magazines, books, or other copyrighted sources, and the unauthorized transmittal of copyrighted software.

    FileDropper.com forwards full responsibility of the contents of the files that were uploaded to our servers to users."

    Not so fun now, eh?
    • sheep1220, on 03/21/2008, -2/+34Umm just about every database of this sort will have a similar EULA. They sort of have to so they can't be sued (as easily) for having copyrighted material found on their servers. If its against their EULA, they can remove it and not claim responsibility.
      • Dantetheinferno, on 03/21/2008, -1/+9The unfun part is the end. FileDropper.com forwards full responsibility of the contents of the files that were uploaded to our servers to users. AkA - Letter gets sent to them, you get *****.

        Rapidshare has this: * No files with illegal contents, for example pornography, child pornography, racist material and/or unauthorized copies of copyrighted material. This statement of categories is not the completed list. [Standard, Accepted].
        • DeathRay2K, on 03/21/2008, -0/+11Which means the same thing, they're just a little less up front about it.
    • Strikersgun, on 03/21/2008, -0/+52cant upload anything trademark or copyright? what do i have bigger then 2 mb that follow those rules?
      • Lemon, on 03/21/2008, -0/+11Creative people have print ready PDFs, Illustrator files, photoshop files, original music files etc etc etc
      • xaxxon, on 03/21/2008, -0/+7it says you can't upload anything that INFRINGES on a copyright. If you have a copyright on something, you can absolutely upload it.
    • Klarth, on 03/21/2008, -0/+38Megaupload, Mediafire, Rapidshare and all the other major file depositories all have disclaimers like this. Doesn't stop them from having mountains and mountains of warez and media hosted though.
    • bungoman, on 03/21/2008, -1/+2That' is a just a CYA. Unless you're posting CP odds are unless they get a letter from a lawyer they won't actually do anything.
    • Rikm, on 03/21/2008, -1/+10No porn.
      No copyright.
      No point.
    • zongamin, on 03/21/2008, -0/+14What did you expect? For ***** sake
      • bradleyland, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1hay guyz, upload all your porn/music/movies/warez over here on my server! if it goes down, can someone drop by and reset it? i'll be busy chatting with the nice man in the black suit over at the FBI.

        enjoy!!!
    • Octanus, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1I don't see "* Files that are pornographic. This includes nudity and sexual situations." on their TOS anymore.
  • nofaith, on 03/21/2008, -4/+75ADrive lets you upload and store up to 50GB
    http://www.adrive.com/
    • xlar54, on 03/21/2008, -0/+22Nice find also...just know that the max single file size is 2GB compared to file dropper's 5GB size...Not that anyone would be uploading full DVDs or anything... :/
      • 64fanatic, on 03/21/2008, -0/+5Oh..uh yea..nobody does that

        ahahaha...

        hah. (cough)
    • igraham09, on 03/21/2008, -2/+29Well ***** me running... why the hell did no one tell me of this until now?
    • madirish, on 03/21/2008, -0/+19you were too busy running
    • carterx, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1I just signed up, but is there a way to view your file. Such as, I uploaded a picture, and I can not view it or link it to another site. it will just download. is the site strictly for downloads, or can pictures be linked/viewed when set to share.
  • Zoctogon, on 03/21/2008, -15/+3I just lost the game
    • charbo187, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1Australia is the key to the whole game.
  • ladyarcher85, on 03/21/2008, -13/+10I still prefer mediafire
  • borez, on 03/21/2008, -3/+18Needs a load more bandwidth. Upload pretty past but downloading the same file took me 1meg/min @ approx 11kb/sec... 1 hour for a pretty standard 60meg .wav or .aiff file = not that good.

    • borez, on 03/21/2008, -2/+17Fine, digg me down but with my broadband ( 24mg ) I can do the same thing in about 10 secs directly.
    • JordanTW90, on 03/21/2008, -9/+3That rate is still faster than a lot of torrents.
    • uberamd, on 03/21/2008, -0/+5Its because the server is getting pounded by digg.
    • looksliketrent, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1It's free, quit bitching.
  • skamper, on 03/21/2008, -8/+1filedropper.com/porn

    just had to do it
  • supermajic, on 03/21/2008, -3/+6I can't see a motive for providing these services - where are the advertisements?
    • afx1, on 03/21/2008, -0/+13pure evil needs no motive...
      • supermajic, on 03/21/2008, -0/+25So the RIAA is behind this?
      • mccrew, on 03/21/2008, -5/+0Not unless they are setting up in Latvia...

    thanks for digging
  • lougoose, on 03/21/2008, -0/+805GB file? No Problem!
    Digg front page? Big problem!
  • Whaines, on 03/21/2008, -2/+13What about http://drop.io/ ?
    • sifeliz, on 03/21/2008, -1/+3Very cool, thank you!
    • seanc6610, on 03/21/2008, -0/+4uhh 100 mb?
    • sifeliz, on 03/21/2008, -0/+4Yeah but did you see the telephone number option? I can call a number and it will start recording and then I can download an mp3 when I get home. That's sure to come in handy at some point.
    • Whaines, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1Not to mention you can fax it stuff too =).
  • JasonsLan, on 03/21/2008, -1/+3890% of the links on the site don't work.. and its slow.. I bet all the positive comments are from the guy who created this web page..
    • jaewon223, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1yeah it's extremely slow for me at the moment.
  • JoshuaH, on 03/21/2008, -1/+5Probably won't last long.
  • weasler7, on 03/21/2008, -5/+5IMO Drop.io is much more visually pleasing, functionally sound, and user friendly.
  • akurashy, on 03/21/2008, -3/+75 GB? Lets say... DVD isos.. anime... games... music.... apparently they don't have ads so i'm guessing they are going to die... and if their host charges extras for the bandwidth ...
  • Julolidine, on 03/21/2008, -2/+21Hah, the first couple comments are so phony. High five buddy! Way to go! You just save me some time! Bookmarked for later use!

    Buried as lame. Shouldn't a file sharing site that is supposed to have a ton of bandwidth to deal with large file transfers be able to deal with the digg effect?
  • jojo1224, on 03/21/2008, -1/+21It is Really slow, They are going to die.
  • charlietuna, on 03/21/2008, -5/+2I have a friend who swears by Pango. Better? Worse?

    • spanglegluppet, on 03/21/2008, -0/+9Australian internet does indeed suck. I'm being charged AU$80 (about US$70) a month for a connection that isn't that fast with a 25GB cap. FAIL.
      • sexybobo, on 03/21/2008, -0/+125GB My parents use more then that a month and they dont use bittorrent.
        I have a slow ass 1.5meg connection and i do 150GB or more a month
        • ricopicouk, on 03/21/2008, -0/+3Your dad has a porn habbit.
          25GB / 31 days = 819 megs per day.
          Thats a dirty milf xvid each day, theres no way you would reach that limit from surfing the interweb.
      • kronaslor, on 03/21/2008, -0/+0Our Net does suck here..
        I'm in shared accommodation and our landlord pays AUD$80 a month for telstra cable internet with only 12GB of not downloads... but data ... they count uploads too..... and that gets shared between 5 people.... my parents pay $85 for 40GB of downloads on a 0.5Mbit connection.....
  • N3k74r, on 03/21/2008, -1/+8I'm getting about 30 kb/s

    Always a catch
  • sl9sl9, on 03/21/2008, -4/+4Various links on that site are 404's, and it is right now stupidly slow (56k modem speeds). They didn't even have a TOS/AUP/EULA until AFTER this digg story was posted!

    What a poor amateur effort. This whole story is a spam advert for somebody's soon-to-be failed dotcom (just look at the comments at the top), buried as lame!
  • jk_baller23, on 03/21/2008, -2/+1Might get reduced now that it has appeared on digg, lol.

    Nice find nonetheless.
  • Postoasted, on 03/21/2008, -1/+7After 20 minutes of uploading a 17mb file I gave up. I have a 2 MB upload link. If anyone is dumb enough to upload a 5gb file good-luck. Maybe it'll finish by summer.
    • uberamd, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1I upload at about 2MB/sec at my on campus apartment... so its fairly quick not everyone has ***** upload speeds.
  • zaxnyd, on 03/21/2008, -2/+2This is great except the part where it was downloading at 2k per second. Oh, and the part where after I was done, it wasn't the file I uploaded.

    Needs major work.
  • eselet, on 03/21/2008, -2/+1With no ads, and no other visible way of making money it's just a matter of time before they have "premium accounts" etc.

    Is there a service like this where your files are guaranteed not to be deleted? at least for a couple of years.
  • JoeLeo, on 03/21/2008, -3/+3This Web site is being run out of Jitendra's home! Amazing!
    • BradBrown, on 03/21/2008, -1/+2Actually, it's being run off a Commodore 64 in my pants.
  • dildobaggins, on 03/21/2008, -1/+9uh yeah, a web site where you can upload large files for free with no advertisements....?
    I think I'll pass, something don't smell quite right.
