Free Small File Hosting Sites

Hey,

A lot has happened in 2012 regarding file-hosting sites. The complete shut-down of Megaupload (and arrest of key players), has lead to Fileserve (and its sister sites) and Filesonic greatly limiting their use, along with many other '1-click-filehosters'.

A major change that Filesonic has implemented is making files uploaded only accessible to the original user who uploaded the material. Filesonic, and many other sites, have begun to delete millions of files, rendering dozens of links useless, and greatly incapacitating mega-search engine 'Filestube'. For video and audio distributing, this is a phenomenal blow, as Filesonic and Fileserve were among the most popular file-hosting sites.

However, if you only need a small reliable file-hoster to upload, say, document1.pdf (2.1mb), then these filehosters that I've compiled are definitely something to consider:

Free Small File Hosting Sites
XUP  - Registration is free, and you can upload 15mb max, however it is in another language. The navigation is easy, and you'll easily be able to figure it out (or just use Google Translate).
BigUpload - Another small filehosting site. Registration is not required, and users can upload up to 20mb.
senduit - Has a 100mb upload limit. This filehosting site is great for private links. Users can choose an expiry date (e.g. in 30 minutes, or 2 hours). Senduit is great for hosting something temporary (project, assignment, holiday pics), and not worrying to delete it as files expire in 30 minutes - 1 week depending on your choice.
TinyUpload - Has a limit of 50mb. According to the site, files uploaded will remain forever.
SmallFiles - Users can upload small files. One of the simplest small filehosting sites.
WikiSend - Has a file size limit of 100mb, and provides password protection, however uploaded files only last for a week. It also provides a handy file ID download service.

Free Bigger File Hosting Sites
Crocko - Crocko has a larger size limit, but comes in handy because of its ability to upload large files.
SendSpace - Sendspace has a 300mb file size limit. Its useful for sending a file link to a specific person.
MirrorCreator - Uploads to multiple sites, has a huge limit of 500mb, and is handy if you want to give the downloader some choice as to which site to download from.

Hopefully, this compilation of links is helpful for finding a new uploading site if you were using MegaUpload or FileServe when they closed.
