MegaUpload closes? Here are 14 options for uploading files

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.

RapidShare: MegaUpload like, allows users to upload files of unlimited size. There are also storage limits, but the files are automatically deleted after a certain period of time. 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.

Dropbox : a popular, robust cloud storage service. Dropbox provides users with 2 GB of free storage, and lets you share files with anyone using a public folder. Users can upgrade to 50GB for $ 10 per month, or 100GB for $ 20 a month.

Box like Dropbox, Box is primarily a cloud storage service. Users have 5 GB available but can only upload files of 25 MB or smaller.

YouSendIt:   offers 2GB of free storage. The files can then be shared by e-mail, but only five per month for the free version.

Minus : one of the easiest ever. Allows users who sign up to release files up to 2GB and offers users up to 50 GB of free storage.

Amazon CloudDrive :   offers 5GB of free storage, and can be upgraded to 20GB at a cost of about $ 1 per gigabyte per year (making it by far one of the least expensive). The maximum file size is 2 GB. The biggest drawback? It does not allow file sharing (unless it is given the password Amazon, of course).

MicrosoftSkyDrive : Completely free, SkyDrive offers users 25 GB of free storage, and the ability to share files with others via e-mail. It 'must have a Hotmail (MSN or other).

There are other lesser known but equally valid solutions. Here is a brief list:

SugarSync

Oron

Deposit Files

FilePost

FileSonic

WUpload

Well, one thing is certain: MegaUpload will remain forever in the hearts of fans of file-sharing and take his place will be a tall order. I wonder if these 14 sites will undergo the same treatment or MU will benefit ...
