Cloud services for file-sharing!

There are a lot of cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, Box and SkyDrive available on the internet & all of them offer online sharing from their free space online. These services offer sharing your files over the internet just by giving out links to the file you want to share. Now the question is can these services be used for file-sharing i.e. sharing movies, tv series, applications, etc.

First of all sharing depends on how much space do you have online. Google Drive gives you 5GB of space plus an additional space of 10GB from Gmail. Dropbox offers you 2.5GB
of free space in starting & then there are a lot of options to get more free space like inviting your friends at dropbox will earn you 500MB per friend. This can take you up to 18GB of free space. Microsoft’s SkyDrive offers you a free space of 7GB. Box offers you 5GB of free space.

Second of all are the sharing options you get. Google is the best here; it provides you sending files by email as well as from custom links to files. Of course SkyDrive also offers this but it is a much less flexible service. Dropbox & Box allow you to share the files only by giving links to them which you can share to anyone. If you want to use these services for file sharing then giving out links would be the best option.

The only drawback to this type of file sharing is that your files are more likely to be deleted soon if they include illegal copyrighted material; also it is highly likely that your account will be disabled when the service providers find that you are using their services to share illegal content like movies.

But the fun lies in sharing pirated copy of Windows 8 from Microsoft’s SkyDrive!
