5 Free Services to Save Files on the Web to your Cloud Storage

There are many free web based file hosting services.The most popular one is Dropbox.It offers many great features including 2 GB of free space.There are similar services like Spideroak,SugarSync etc.

The best part about these free file hosting services is that they use cloud computing to enable users to share and synchronize files and folders across the internet.Hence these services are called Cloud Storage.

In my college when there are many users simultaneously accessing the internet, downloading files becomes a pain.Many times there are restriction on files downloads.It would have been nice if there was a option to download files on the web directly to my DropBox or other free cloud storage accounts.I can then go home and download the files from my DropBox account.
Another advantage of downloading files from cloud storage account is that you get very good speeds.

Here are 5 useful webapps or service which help you save or download files on the web directly to your Cloud Storage.

Fetch.io


This is the best and my favourite free cloud storage service.Fetch.io allows you to download files directly from torrents,file sharing websites at very high speeds.Fetch.io supports all of the popular download sites such as MediaFire, Rapidshare, MegaUpload, and even protocols such as Bittorrent.This service gives you 2GB of storage and 4GB of bandwidth.

You like to download things and you don’t like waiting a long time for them.
FETCH.IO LETS YOU DOWNLOAD MEDIA FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES
AND STREAM THEM INSTANTLY, FAST.
