Im gonna try Dropbox I am always uploading stuff and this seems really easy!I have seen it before but never signed up.. this is the time. Can you share files from your dropbox to friends etc?

Use Megaupload and forget anything else.

http://www.megaupload.com/

1GB files work fine, download 1MB/s or more for free users, works fine EVEN without paying anything. :)

If you will constantly delete what you share, Dropbox would do you good, I guess.

Megaupload has no client as far as I am aware though? I love the idea of having an icon on my desktop I can just drag and drop files too that seems way to easy to be using a web interface! Do you agree?

Then Your best bet is Dropbox. Just drag files into the Dropbox Public folder, right lick an select get link. Give that link to your friends. Thats it! smile.gif

I love dropbox, too bad has a 2gb limit :(

Um thats you just being too lazy to get referrals, etc. I currently have 5GB of space for FREE.

And the limit of the file size is based upon your total storage available

https://www.dropbox.com/help/5

Is there a limit or maximum to how big my files can be?

Files uploaded to Dropbox via the desktop application have no file size limit.

Files uploaded through the website (by pressing the upload button) have a 300 MB cap. In other words, each file you upload through the website must be 300 MB or less.

All files uploaded to your Dropbox must be smaller than the size of your Dropbox account's storage quota. For example, if you have a free 2 GB account, you can upload one 2 GB file or many files that all add up to 2 GB. If you are over your storage quota, Dropbox will stop syncing until you are below your limit.

edit: BTW with sharing with friends -- you can also share folders between dropbox accounts vs public share link.. Ie my sons are both away at school - I have a matt folder and a sean folder.. Whatever I put in those folders shows up in their dropbox -- and they have it on their machine.. No need to even go download anything - it auto downloads it to their machine when I put anything in those folders. Same goes if they need to send me something.

And when move it out of the folder - then I know they have gotten it, etc. Because it deletes it from my folder.

I wound up using dropbox. I was actually looking for something that wouldn't require an account or a client but my friend was cool with setting everything up so it was no problem.

Thanks again.

You friend doesn't need a client just for future reference. If you drop the file into your public folder it creates a public link. Right click the file go to get public link and voila!

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
