MegaUpload has been closed a few days ago and there seems no possibility of return at the time for one of the world's most popular platforms. But the file-sharing is not done, there are at least 14 alternative sites that can meet your needs.
MegaUpload boasted 50 million users per day and accounted for 5% of all Internet traffic . Many are looking for a way to store and share files. Here is a short list of 14 sites that will fill the hole left by the sudden break down of remembering MegaUpload multiupload.com according to as the best for uploading to multiple sites.

Users who wish to use RapidShare as cloud storage can subscribe to RapidPro for about € 29.9 (RapidShare is based in Switzerland, so there should be no problem) for 150 days.
MediaFire : an abridged version of RapidShare, MediaFire allows free users to upload any file type, with a maximum of 2 GB and upload the files will be deleted after a certain period of time. Users can upgrade to a Pro account for $ 9 a month.
