File-Sharing Solution Tailored for Chat-Enthusiastic Artists: Volafile, with Option for Similar Platforms Provided
Volafile, the popular online file hosting service that allowed users to share files in rooms and chat about them, shut down in 2019. However, if you're in need of a similar platform for temporary file hosting and chat room functionality, there are alternatives available.
One such alternative is AnonFiles, which allows anonymous uploads with links valid for a limited time. Another option is File.io, which provides auto-deleting file shares often after a single download or a timed expiration. WeTransfer offers free temporary file transfers that expire after 7 days, making it a suitable choice for shorter-term needs. Transfer.sh is command-line friendly and auto-deletes files after a few days.
For those who prefer encrypted temporary file sharing, Send.firefox.com (Firefox Send) was previously a popular choice, though it has been discontinued. However, forks or similar tools may still be available.
While these alternatives offer temporary file hosting, they do not replicate the exact "room" chat experience that Volafile provided. For a direct "room" style file sharing experience, few established platforms remain after Volafile’s closure.
It's worth noting that all files on Volafile were screened by other users to prevent illegal or harmful content. This feature is also present in some alternatives, ensuring a safe and secure environment for users.
When using these alternatives, remember that download speeds can vary depending on the number of users in the room. Also, once files are uploaded, they cannot be deleted, so it's essential to download any files you wish to keep before the 2-day timer expires.
For those who need to share large files regularly, Volafile might still be the best option, despite it no longer being operational. However, for temporary file hosting needs, the alternatives mentioned above should serve you well.
Lastly, Volafile could still be accessed on mobile devices by visiting volafile.org. While there is no mobile application, this allows users to share and download files on the go.
In conclusion, while Volafile is no longer operational, alternatives like File.io, AnonFiles, WeTransfer, and Transfer.sh offer temporary file hosting and automatic deletion after a limited time period, albeit without the exact "room" chat experience Volafile had. For a direct "room" style file sharing experience, further exploration may be necessary to find suitable alternatives.
