Testing Results of File Sharing Services

This is the results list for all the file upload services that BF recommends and some that aren't listed but are well used on this forum.  Keep in mind, the testing was done from a 1Gbps internet connection, and if a service was down during testing, it fell to the bottom of list.  The original list was started using the BF recommended sites with 3 or 4 added to bottom of list.  There were plenty of listed services that did not work well, or at all.  They also were dropped down the list.  A service was not tested if it requires an account to upload files.  At least one service on the recommended list did nothing but send my browser to other sites, every time I selected the download button.  Looking at source code for that site, I finally was able to directly download the file, but quite irritating.  The list is in no specific order, except as stated above.

Thanks for the comment DredgenSun!!  Appreciated.  I don't know how long the site will be holding the image.  If anyone wants to pull it down and put it in this thread, directly, please do.  I tried to attach it yesterday via URL, but it wouldn't pull into the post.

Thnx

This is very useful however there are many services missing for example pixeldrain, fex.net and more.

I've found that almost none of these work via Tor for uploading, at least when using TailsOS, they all fail to upload in one way or another

Thank you for the feedback.  Please feel free to send me a private message with your list of other sites.  I will test, them, too. 

Pixeldrain was on the list.  It required logon, so it was not tested.  My tests were kept to sites that don't require logon.  Ones that had failures or if they were not operational at the time, fell to the bottom of the list and off the image screen.  Ones that required logon were placed after those that worked. 

I can run tests using TOR connectivity, too.  Going through TOR does make the connection a lot slower, but I just sent a 128MB test file to BiteBlob and it worked.  I can check to see which ones have .onion domains, and which ones allow for TOR exit nodes access. I won't test speeds using TOR connectivity because the speed is reliant on the TOR path being used and the slowest node will cause the impact to speed ... not the file sharing site.

Thank you for the info.  Appreciated.  Please PM me sites you want checked.

Thanks,
-M
