“File Den was established in April 2006, with the idea of producing a website that at that time did not exist - a free file host that allowed most any file extension to be uploaded and shared whilst allowing direct linking. Many other websites around at the time either only offered very limited file extensions (e.g. Just images) with direct linking, or didn't offer direct linking at all. This made it very difficult for people who didn't have the resources to store their own files to be displayed on their profiles, personal websites, blogs or forums. People had to either purchase a web hosting account elsewhere with hundreds of features they'd never need or put up with not being able to direct link their files. File Den's servers are located in the Gnax datacentre, Atlanta. We currently run on a network of more than 20 servers - expanding monthly in order to continue offering the best service we possibly can.”

File Den seems a very good alternative to the other file hosts around as you can direct link to your files and easily share them with your friends, families, colleagues and communities. File Den opens a range of possibilities for people working with files on the Internet.

Will File Den manage to continue growing at a steady rate? Is this form of online storage going to make a big difference? How will it deal with new competitors popping up each day?
