Last week I helped a neighbour running a MacBook to set up a hotmail address so that an email account was always available when changing ISP.
When we tried it he had access to a heap of storage space at OneDrive, which was a bonus that I had hoped for.

When I first started using OneDrive so that SimHQ forum readers could download my stuff I was amazed at the upload and download speeds compared to the FTP servers used both currently and in the past.

OK! I have a fast PC and a good ISP but as a test I just downloaded an installer file of almost half a gigabyte in less than 4 minutes.

If you want some free storage space then try setting up a hotmail account.

No, I do not work for MicroSoft smile

Maybe that is why I use Mediafire. Free of Billy boy!

How does MF deal with a 500 MB upload?

I'm not sure what the size limit is anymore for MediaFire, but I for some reason split a 510+MB file into 150MB and uploaded 3 parts for it. I know years ago the limit was 200MB files perhaps thats why I did it.

Anyhow I'll try to find out if Col. Gibbon doesn't know.

EDIT: Its 20 GB limit with 64bit browserandOS and 4GB limit with 32Bit browser.

As a present to new members of the EAW Community for this weekend only I'm opening up my Mediafire archive.

111 files, a lot of EAW stuff, that has never formally been released, because the models were not 100% finished, or not skinned. Some books and railway docuementation too.

Download what you like, but the door closes on Monday.

You could just share the archive rather than your login.

Either way you can't get into this way without an e-mail address I think.

Correct. I did because I know it.
The files are all small, so I could not test download speed.

Just taking one of my folders:


You can see that the largest file is 831.5 MB, nearly 1 GB.
Doing a test download took just over 3 minutes.
This is only one of my folders and I still have 12.1 GB available.
It does not cost me a cent smile

I commend your efforts in sharing.

However if you move all the files to its own folder on mediafire, then share just that new folder, your address (URL) for sharing will be much shorter.

The url Col.Gibbon pasted is so long it pushed the posted messages to the right.

Tip your mouse wheel to the right or slide the slider.

Well EAW, I've never tried to share 100 plus files at once!

I was not going to relist each file, one by one.

Have you found anything worth saving?

I don't know why Gigs of space are needed. My files are never more than a few MB, so my Mediafire account serves well, and they have stayed online a long time for free.

I'm not sure about 70% of the files, but some of them I know what they are. I just take it some of those 3dz are models and such.

I think you had some un-releated files in there too. But it looks like you have 50 gigs of storage anyhow.

So is OneDrive really going from 15gigs free to 5 gigs free sometime this year?

I was trying to read up on it so I can use it, but 5 Gigs isn't really that much.
