There are now many reasons to upload files on the Internet, store them long-term and also share them with other people. For both home users and small businesses, not to mention large corporations that have certainly built their own solutions, there are many areas where you need secure file storage. However, in addition to the large cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, there is also a growing market of small providers that are very affordable and therefore competitive. One of these offerings is Fileboom, and we took a very close look at it.

What is Fileboom?

Fileboom is a service that makes it very easy and inexpensive to share files on the Internet. There is a simple interface that makes everything very easy to use. Entire data packages or even individual files can be easily downloaded when shared with other people via a corresponding link. The data is stored decentrally and thus cannot be lost.

What features does Fileboom have?

Fileboom has a great package of features that make it easy to upload the files and also administer them. Through a small interface, you can upload the files with a few clicks or drag and drop. In the program itself, you can then rename the files, move them and manage them in different folders.

If you want to share the files with other members or external users, you can easily create links that you can send and download the files. All this can be done with a few clicks and is completely simple.

Fileboom is available in a free version, but there is a limit of one file at a time and a smaller file size. The speed at which you can upload and download is also limited. In the premium version, which costs only a few dollars and for which you get a lot more in terms of performance, the package is already significantly expanded. For example, you can download and upload with unlimited speed. In addition, files can be up to 20 GB in size. Especially for large video files or graphics, so for example often used by professional agencies, the premium package is suitable.

For whom is Fileboom intended?

Meanwhile, more and more people are in the home office and thus have the requirement to regularly access the files from the company. However, many smaller companies do not have their own individual networks set up and can, for example, issue VPN tokens or something similar. In that case, services like Fileboom are very cost-effective and easy to set up.

In addition, there are also more and more private people who would like to keep their files safe. This is especially true for photos and videos that take up too much space on your hard drive and you want to store them somewhere safe. Here Fileboom is then an ideal program to run this easily and cheaply.

Does the service work in the cloud?

Yes, Fileboom works entirely in the cloud and is therefore accessible from anywhere in the world. The data is kept redundant and cannot be lost. Even if a small part in a computer breaks or crashes somewhere in the system, the files are always kept duplicated and protected from loss. This is what is special about the cloud system, which has already gained significant acceptance these days.

So with Fileboom, you get a system that is based on the latest technology and works. Above all, the security and the cost-effective use of a shared cloud platform should convince many users. Alternatives to this usually cost much more and are complicated to set up and administer.

Can Fileboom be recommended?

Fileboom is a lean and cost-effective solution that nevertheless works very well and delivers reliable results. Because of the many advantages, not least the system of stealing, the system can be recommended in good conscience. There are many ways to use it and nowadays many people are switching from physical hard drives to data storage on the Internet. If you would like to learn more about the system, you can find more information on the official Fileboom website at this link.

In a previous report, we have already described the use of storing files from projects, so also with Comersus data. If you want to store and share files, you are faced with a wide range of options.

Either you build your own technical infrastructure or you choose a service provider or service through which you can already do a lot with a certain functional scope. Here, too, there are different options, from large projects such as Amazon’s cloud to smaller but also flexible providers such as Rapidu. We have tested this ourselves and formed an opinion.

What is Rapidu?

This is a provider that makes it possible to store and share files on the Internet. There is a very simple interface that allows you to upload files for saving or sharing. Ultimately, the basic version is free, but so limited in speed and size of files that I recommend in any case the paid premium variant. This doesn’t cost much money either and can be booked for a few dollars a month.

Rapidu Features and Setup

The features of Rapidu can really be seen in comparison to other providers and allow access and management of their own files, the sharing of files via appropriately generated links and also the downloading of external files provided. For these, the appropriate links are used and thus jeopardize access to the data in the system.

The setup of Rapidu is very easy. One logs in with one’s own e-mail address and activates a free account. Then you have the option to register for the paid premium version. Then the account is connected to the service and there are no more restrictions on its use. View Rapidu.org for a more in-depth explanation on the file storage and features.

Alternatives for cloud hosting

Alternatively, many companies but also private users have so far resorted to large solutions in the cloud. This includes Amazon, Microsoft or Dell, for example. However, this also costs a lot of money and requires technical knowledge to be administered. Much easier and for most cases absolutely sufficient are solutions like Rapidu.

Rapidu Conclusion

We have had positive experiences with Rapidu, especially in larger projects for developing software and backing up data from projects with Comersus. The overall operation is very simple and fluid. The speed was absolutely sufficient for us in most cases and above all we liked that there are no restrictions on the size of individual files in the Premium version. This also helps with more intensive graphics files.

In general, Rapidu has improved our own system and allowed us in the team to access the data from anywhere. Many software developers are now in home offices or generally work remotely. For that, it’s a really cost-effective and easy-to-use system. We can definitely recommend it with a clear conscience.
