Rapidshare.com offers user the ability to upload, download and share large computer files quickly and easily. Files up to 200 Meg can be uploaded with just one click on free accounts and multiple files can be uploaded at one time using the bulk upload function. The site is easy to use once you have gotten past the initial account creation. Creating an account: Creating a free account only requires you to submit a user name of your choice, your e-mail address and password of your choice. The instructions on how to start on the site are not as clear as they could be but you only need to upload one of your files into the system to be directed to a section for creating an account. Account costs: Both free and paid premium accounts are available on RapidShare.com. With free accounts file uploads are limited to 200 Megs in size but premium accounts may upload up to 2 Gigs in file size. When files are downloaded you will earn RapidShare points and these points can be converted into a premium paid account. Premium accounts are only good for as long as you actually pay for them. They do not renew automatically so you do not need to worry about cancelling the service if you decide you do not need it. Ease of use for uploading: Uploading files even with a free account is fast and easy. You can also use the simple bulk upload function to upload several files all at one time. If you wish you may also group your files into a “LinkList” to allow all grouped files to be downloaded with a single URL link. You also have the ability to upload files from other locations by using the remote upload feature. You may delete your files at any time. It is important to remember that any files that have not been downloaded in 90 days are subject to deletion on free accounts. Just download them yourself as needed to keep the files active. Security: Your files and information are secure on RapidShare.com. You should use the account locking feature that is provided for you. When you select account locking you will receive an e-mail with your unlock code. File links that you send can still be downloaded but no one can access your account directly. Download links can only be accessed by the account owner and downloaded by those that the account owner allows. Downloading: All of your files will have a download link next to them. You only need to copy and paste this code to send it to anyone you want to have view your file. You can also use the e-mail feature directly on RapidShare. With a premium account you will be provided with another option of TrafficShare. This feature will allow you to have your files available for direct downloading. RapidPoints and more: You earn “rapid points” whenever your files are downloaded with a free or premium account. You can convert these points into payment for a premium account or use them to purchase a gift item but only one gift item is allowed per account.
