Re: I need a file sharing service
I don't think it's practical to upload huge 5GB+ files on regular home Internet connections. It's going to take literally all day to upload, and it's going to kill the user's connection in the meantime. If it fails, especially if it's a multi-file upload, someone with access is going to have to go in and delete all the scraps so the upload can be restarted.
If your users can operate ProTools, they should be able to zip a file and upload it through FTP (use FileZilla or something, drag and drop). It's not that hard.
I bet one of the content management systems (Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla) has a plugin available that can do what you want. I have a plugin running on my site that simply takes a folder and lists its contents on a web page, mainly to display my show recordings, so the file I/O capability is definitely there. I have 1&1 business Linux with unlimited traffic and storage space.
If you want 'real deal' file management, pay for Rapidshare. Hands down the industry-standard file storage and sharing service. And yes, it's not illegal, though many people do use it to share copyrighted content.
