Unlike other websites, such as Fileserve and Megaupload, Drawpr is pretty fast and does not cap your total uploading limit. Users are free to upload as much as they like. However, the bucket is deleted after 60 days if nothing is uploaded or downloaded from it. Users can also make the buckets public or private. The private one is only accessible by people who have the password to it.

Another advantage of Drawpr is the fact that you are provided with a short link to the file, such as the one provided by bit.ly, ow.ly, etc.

To use the service, just drag and drop the file you want to upload into the bucket and watch it upload. After uploading the file, Drawpr generates a link to download the file which can be shared with friends and family. If you want to manage your uploaded files, you can sign up for a free account. One advantage of making an account on Drawpr is that you will be able to keep your files hosted for a longer period.

Features:

• Free to use.
• Upload files of up to 50MB.
• Provides a user with shortlink from the beginning.
• Similar tools: JustBeamIt, Minus and GoPileus.
