NoFile

But if the site does decide to shut down then we will be sure to notify users about this at least a month in advance in order to have time to make backups.

Right now there's only an option to upload files to Dropbox, but the plan is to add as many useful alternatives as possible and S3 would be a good option.

The number of times a file was downloaded is currently being counted, but it isn't public. It would be an interesting idea to display it on every download page by default (similar to Imgur) and give the uploader the option of disabling it.

The duplicated info block has also been replaced, thanks for pointing it out.

A link has also been added to that block to make it easier to find, thanks for pointing it out.

Perhaps it would be useful to add an option that toggles the animations on/off.

The main difference is that nearly all of these hosts specialize in a specific type of storage. As an example MEGA forces all users to client-side encrypt files before uploading which is useful for sensitive files, but it comes with the cost of incompatibilities with older browsers and devices which can't decrypt/download the files.

Uploaded provides lots of space for the uploaders, but then pushes all users to its premium plan. The site is ridiculously slow to use as a free user as they cap download speeds to 50 KB/s (they bump it up to a 70 KB/s if you take the time to sign-up).

NoFile bundles all the perks of the different hosts and gives the user more options and fewer limits. You can upload large files and choose whether you want to password protect, encrypt or disable previews for your file while still giving the downloaders speeds of at least 2 MB/s.

It's just a simple file host that allows you to share files without having to worry about the downloaders being infected with a virus, not being able to download

What's your business model?

At the moment there is no revenue source. As costs for the hosting go up, there will be a more "humane" premium plan added in the future, but it will targeted to very frequent users and as a free users you won't be affected by the changes.

How do you want to keep DMCA claims at bay?

If a valid DMCA request is sent in together with a link then we will be forced to respect the content creator and take the link down.

Does this work mobile?

This works on every single device regardless of whether you have Javascript enabled or not. If you however enable the client-side encryption feature (currently in BETA) which is disabled by default then users on older browsers and devices won't be able to download your file.

All those useful features have been added to NoFile and made available for anyone who wants to use it - all free from ads, registrations, payments and it respects your privacy. Here are some of the current features (more to come):

* Simple upload process compatible with nearly all devices - accepts files as large as 10 GB to be uploaded

* Upload & download files without Javascript enabled (nearly all features are still available, although the site runs smoother with Javascript enabled)

* Password protect files (hashed with SHA256)

* Ability to encrypt files with AES-128 on the client-side before uploading to the server for secure storage (BETA)

* Easily view the metadata of a file (file type, dimensions, upload date, size, etc.) on its download page (URL to a live demo below)

* Preview files (PDF viewer, video/image/audio previews) before downloading (see demo URL below)

* All transfers are made securely over HTTPS to prevent malicious users from viewing what you're downloading/uploading (forced SSL)

* Securely view your upload history without having to create an account (history is stored in your browser's local storage)

* Save files directly to Dropbox (Dropbox scripts are only loaded when button is pressed to protect your privacy)

* No tracking codes and no third-party CDNs are used for external scripts, CSS or fonts in order to protect your privacy
