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.
