Hosting site ideas
Jun 1, 2016 05:55:25 #
I am looking for a site where I can upload fairly large (~1Gb) files for colleagues to download. It is unlikely there would ever be more than a dozen images at any one time. I have no need for editing or organizing capabilities on the site itself. I am willing to pay a reasonable yearly fee for storage and password protected download.
I would appreciate suggestions.

There are multiple ways to do this, one would be using FTP. My hosting company provides cPanel as the maintenance system (I like cPanel). I can password protect directories, then give the password to the recipient of the files so only they can get access. Lots of companies are good. See if you can find one that has unlimited storage and bandwidth. Blue Host might be good.

I have been using DropBox for a couple of years without having any issues. I'm quite happy.

The individual files are 1 gb or are there multiple files that add up to 1 gb?
Personally, if it is the latter, I'd suggest smugmug. You can lock it down pretty tightly. If you use my smugmug site (click on my user name to find it) you'll get a discount (for you and me).

Good thought, I had forgotten Dropbox. It should work fine. Thanks

Do you mean files or folders size? What are photos of?

I like https://www.wetransfer.com/# when you use Dropbox they can use your photos, We Transfer does not try to steal your stuff.

Google Drive gives you 15GB for free.
OneDrive (Microsoft) also gives 15GB for free.
DropBox is just 2GB for a free account.

I'll second David's suggestion. I've been using them for several years now. Just read the guides, if you decide to go that way.
