Talk:File hosting service
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've whipped this article into shape and made it part of the new Internet hosting service series. —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-12 23:42Z
Thank you.
Free online file storage/sending lists about 50 places with online file storage. Is that link "too commercial"? --DavidCary 00:24, 25 January 2006 (UTC) moved to: Free online file storage/sending
Does YouTube.com count as commercial? It's free to upload videos. Kernow 23:58, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Policy says to avoid linking to "Sites that primarily exist to sell products or services." Kernow 00:07, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
A site like www.bitprophet.com offers it's service for free, but has the occasional ad.
Well then.

[edit] comparison of free file hosting services
Any chance of adding such a page, using the above link?
Not including things like rapidshare, as that isn't really a free service. 83.250.32.185 16:41, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Online Media Centre should be part of file hosting
As file hosting includes content like media the document should be integrated into file hosting as a "sub topic".

[edit] Linkspam?
Upload4Free is not link spam as:
1.) Upload4Free is free to use, and contains no popups. 2.) Wikipedia links are 3.) The site is used for representational / demonstration purposes only. 4.) The site contains no adult content. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Biars (talk • contribs) 01:53, 12 March 2007 (UTC).
- Upload4Free was not removed as linkspam. That link was first hijacked by Upload66, which was being spammed across multiple articles. (A link added simply to promote a site, regardless of content, falls under the spam guidelines.) Since it is difficult to pick an example (and I don't think the article really needs an example) and one example opens the door to everyone else who wants to add an link (as has already happened), this is a perfect case for using an open directory such as dmoz and directing editors to add links there. I will replace all the links to example sites with a dmoz link and we won't have to continually fight the spammers. ✤ JonHarder talk 23:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Six Free Online Storage Services
That ExtremeTech link is a good review of some current offerings -- glad it survived this long. [1] -69.87.203.254 18:43, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
