Once
you start paying for storage, that is a completely different
situation and limitations on file sizes and use will not be as
restricting as free storage Here
is just one listing for a few paid
services.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The main difference between free and paid, apart
from the fact you pay: No advertising banners are seen on paid services,
unless you have set up something.
The storage allowance can be
more on paid, but some free is really good.
Allowed
file types have to be checked for use with free services. Adult content is
often denied on free storage sites.
Some free
storage hosts have a blocked words list. If a word or combination of words
is used within a web page or it's source code, then the web page may open,
but shows a number to top left of page. The number indicates the banned
group the wording fell into. You need to
contact the host service for information.
Most free
storage locations, do not allow the 'Warehousing' of files. That is, storing files
to be shown on remote sites such as selling sites or web pages stored by
other hosts. Such storage can lead to the free account being
cancelled. Also, some free storage sites which are inactive for longer than
30 days or less, may be deleted without you being told. Inactive,
generally means..... pages not edited, no visits to web pages stored, no
uploads or non-actions which indicate no one is looking at or using
site.
