Storing and Sharing Game Clip Files Via File Exchangers

When we play games, we often use the screen recording function, especially YouTubers or game bloggers who share their gameplay operations on major platforms. The recording function that comes with LDPlayer is our most recommended.

However, when recording a complete game clip, the saved file is usually very large, and it takes a lot of time to directly share it with friends or users in the community. In addition, saving such files locally will also increase the burden on the computer and occupy a lot of computer memory.

As you probably know, you can store files on different kinds of media. These are HDD and SSD disks, flash drives, CD/DVDs, memory cards, and other devices. And how do you transfer these large game clip files over the Internet? You can do it via eMail, Skype, social networks, messengers, etc.

 

File sharing is a special service that allows users to quickly place files on the Internet with subsequent access to them around the clock. Access to files, as a rule, is carried out via HTTP (this protocol allows you to visit websites). File exchangers are file repositories that allow you to exchange files in a few clicks. It is the ease and speed of operation that makes such services very popular and in-demand today.

But what if the file is too big? What if you can't send it by email, Skype or attach it to a Facebook message? File sharing sites can help you. Nowadays, it is impossible to do without file exchangers. File sharing is in great demand. This article will tell you more about it.

 

Who Needs File Exchangers?

 

Virtually everyone! Almost all Internet users exchange and send files. Especially often, a quick file share is used by designers, site developers, and server administrators. In the course of their work, such people often have to send their customers the fruits of their work (design layouts, website archives, video clips, etc.), and their size is huge sometimes. For example, a simple poster design may weigh over 100 megabytes in its original form. It is more convenient to transfer such works to clients through hosting or file-sharing service.

 

 

How to Use File-Sharing Sites?

 

 

All such services for storing information work based on the same principle. Simply choose the file you need, click "Download," and get a backlink.

A backlink is a URL where you can download your file. When you get a link, you can use it for your purposes. For example, send it to your friends or leave it on the thematic forum.

Difficulties should not arise because the huge “Download” button immediately catches the eye, and even a beginner can easily use such a user interface. The only thing is that some sharing sites require registration before you can upload and download files there.
 

Advantages of File Exchangers

 

Here are the main advantages of file exchangers:

• The file exchanger is usually a free file upload site that allows users to quickly place the necessary documents and materials on the Internet and access them around the clock. It has universal accessibility, allowing users to freely exchange various programs, documents, and other kinds of content.
• The universal accessibility of resources has two sides. The same opportunity allows users to share interesting documents and materials freely and gives the green light to hackers and network scammers, who spread viruses and malicious software through file exchangers. That is why you need to be very careful when choosing one. Among other criteria is the speed of the Internet you have access to and the load on the server where all the necessary information is located.
• In addition, such websites provide the ability not only to download any material but also to share it with other users. This saves a lot of space on your computer and allows sharing programs, photos, videos, and other documents with your relatives or friends. It's quite easy to do — just upload the necessary documentation to a file exchanger, copy the resulting link, and send it to another person. After that, the material will be available for download in secure data storage — a multi-level security system — and you will have complete control over access to your data.
• If you use file exchangers, you save money because your company will not need to install or maintain any additional software. 
• If you use file exchangers, you also get disk space savings. Even though the capacity of data storage media is constantly increasing, you can never have too much free space.
• You also get absolute independence from any office space because access to the documents stored on a file exchanger is possible anytime and from any place with an Internet connection. 

 

 

Disadvantages of File Exchangers

 

Despite the significant advantages, file exchangers also have some shortcomings. Here are some of them:

• A large number of ads. File exchangers’ owners need to earn money, after all!
• Limitations on the download speed.
• Restrictions on the amount of downloadable data.
• Your files will be deleted after some time (a week, month, year).
• Among other files, you can download viruses from file exchangers. Be careful.

Of course, for an additional fee — that is, for buying a VIP account — the owners of file exchangers will be happy to increase the download speed, remove advertising, or provide more disk space.

 

 

Differences Between Filesharing Services

 

 

• The necessity of registration. Some file-sharing websites require people to register before using them, while others don’t.
• Different restrictions for free accounts. As a rule, if a file exchanger doesn’t require registration, there are restrictions on the size of uploaded files, storing time, the number of simultaneous downloads, limitations on download speed, etc. All sharing websites have their unique approach in this regard.
• Availability of additional services such as the ability to download files via FTP or set a password to download the file. There is also the possibility of multiple downloads and sending notifications with links to files by e-mail. An important factor is to check the downloaded files for viruses. Never forget about security.

 

 

Conclusion

 

Despite the introduction and growing popularity of cloud storage, which allows you to upload and download much information, file-sharing sites remain popular. People simply need to upload data quickly and distribute the desired link. Since there are a lot of file exchangers today, we recommend that you read the reviews before you make your final choice.
