File sharing is a popular system for distributing files over the Internet. Each user can place the necessary files in this system, and then share a link to them.
File sharing services, as the name implies, are file sharing programs. They are needed so that you can place files on them, get a link to this file, and then transfer it to the right people for downloading. Thus, there is no longer a need to keep huge amounts of information on a computer or flash drives, carry a portable hard drive with you and store all documents on an unreliable medium. Everything you need can always be saved on a special service, and then simply exchange a link to distribute this file.
There are two types of file sharing users: those who store and distribute information there, and those who use this information.
You can store any information on file hosting: text documents, pictures, photos, videos, presentations. In order to become a user of a file hosting service, you need to register in its system. After a simple registration procedure, the user's personal space is provided, in which several free gigabytes are allocated absolutely free of charge, on advanced file sharing services - up to 25 GB. If this space is not enough, you can expand it, but for a nominal fee.
Information can be disseminated in several ways: locally and in large quantities. You can send a link to the saved file only to those to whom this information is intended. After downloading the file, you can delete it immediately. However, many users use file hosting services to massively distribute files to other users. This method can be good money.
How does he work? The user uploads an interesting file to a file hosting service, receives a link to the file, and then distributes this link to as many people as possible on forums, message boards and social networks. The file sharing program calculates the number of downloads of the file per month and charges a certain amount for this to the user. Typically, the fee for 1000 downloads varies from $ 10 to $ 30 depending on the size of the file. If a user has several popular files, then his downloads can make good money.
Why file hosting services pay for interesting files is easy to understand. Users who download files use paid accounts that allow them to download documents very quickly, or they download files for free, but watch ads. Therefore, as with any site, the income of the file hosting service itself depends on the incoming traffic, in other words, on the number of people on it.
