For anyone who deals with large files or multimedia content, file sharing can be the bane of one’s existence sometimes. And trying to find workable solutions for these individuals involves a ton of capital expense and overhead in terms of server storage and bandwidth.
S4ve.as has a nice stopgap solution: They’ll host any file, any size, for up to 24 hours. Sometimes, 24 hours is just enough time to get that 5GB video footage from one hard drive to another. For this reason, we like S4ve.as. They’re so l337.
As far as we can tell, s4ve.as is a free version of parent company Media Hog‘s yet-to-be-release digital assets management platform. It’s one of the simplest systems we’ve seen around the web.
File uploads are relatively quick, require no login, have no weird redirects for downloading.
S4ve.as is, in a word, elegant.
Take a look at these screenshots, and definitely try out the service on your larger files. We plan to do the same as soon as we have the time and bandwidth.
