Instructions
Step 1
Go to the site https://depositfiles.com and register by clicking the "Register" link in the upper right corner of the page. Registration is not required to place files on this file hosting service, but it provides a number of advantages. Firstly, after registration, you can take part in the affiliate program of the site and receive money for each download of your files, as well as for attracting new users. Secondly, registration makes the process of managing uploaded files more convenient.
Step 2
Log in to the site after confirming your registration and select the file you are going to download. Remember that this file must not violate anyone's rights, contain viruses or illegal content, be offensive or incite hatred. Also, the maximum size that a downloadable file can have is 2GB.
Step 3
Confirm the download of the file by clicking Download Now. When the file is uploaded, you will see the inscription "Upload successfully completed" and a window with links to download and delete the file.
Step 4
Copy and save these links. The first of them is the http-address of the location where the uploaded file is stored; this is the link you will give to your friends if you want them to download the file. And by clicking on the link to delete, you can delete the file from the file hosting service at any time. In addition, registered users can manage uploaded files from their personal account, in which case there is no need to remember links.
Step 5
When uploading a file to Depositfiles, keep in mind that the storage period on this file hosting service is limited. If you have not registered on the site, then your file will be deleted after 30 days from the date of its last download. If you have registered and logged in before downloading the file, this period will be extended to 90 days from the date of the last download.
Step 6
File hosting Depositfiles allows you to group the files you need into one folder, or collection. To do this, use the "Upload multiple files" menu item. You will need to specify the files to download from your computer and enter a collection name. When the upload to the file hosting is complete, you will receive a link to download the file folder.
Step 7
You can create a collection from the files you have already uploaded to the site. Go to the "Files" menu item in your personal account and create a new folder, and then move the necessary files into it.
