It’s also fairly simple to manage your account as well. One such useful option is the ability to compress files (opens in new tab) directly within the account.īesides the usual file management features, such as the ability to create folders, copy and move files, and such, 4shared also offers some interesting options. All you have to do is select a bunch of files and use the ‘Zip selected’ option to roll them into a compressed archive. ![]() This feature is designed to help you make better use of your storage space.Ĥshared also has useful options to search for files within your account, since cataloging 100 GB worth of data can be quite a chore. You can search for files by their type, as well as by their date of upload. To further narrow down the results you can even specify the size of the files you are hunting. 4shared allows you to tag files and folders and you can even search for files by their tags. Once you have uploaded files in your 4shared account you can easily share them. You can either share the link as is or ask 4shared to shorten the URL by removing its filename. You can also create a direct link to a file that you can then email (opens in new tab) to your contacts from within 4shared along with a custom message. Similarly, besides files you can also share complete folders as well. By default when shared, folders are publicly accessible and their content can be viewed by anyone with the URL. You can modify this behavior to even allow others to upload and edit content inside your shared folders. On the other hand, you can also restrict access to the folder to a selected list of users, or simply keep the folders Private to yourself. One interesting and unique sharing feature is the ability to create sub-domains. Using this feature, instead of the usual link, 4shared allows you to map a folder to a publicly accessible subdomain such as. To restrict access, you can optionally protect this folder with a password. (Image credit: 4shared) Plans and PricingĤshared allows two types of plans.
