UploadJockey: Upload Your Files to Multiple Sites

Filed under: Review, cool_web_sites, utilities - 14 May 2008

UploadJockey - Banner

If you have a collection of photos or documents that you need to get from your computer to a best friend's computer, there's no excuse to tie up their inbox with a 50MB ZIP file; there are tons of services on the Web that will host the file and give a URL where your friend can retrieve the file. The difficulty comes with choosing the right service, or if there are multiple files, choosing the right services so your friend doesn't get stuck downloading one and having to wait 45 minutes before he can download the next one. UploadJockey solves this problem by uploading your file to multiple file hosting services with one click.

UploadJockey supports RapidShare, Badongo, Sendspace, zShare, MegaUpload, and Depositfiles. The service uploads files up to 100MB, and you can either create an account at UploadJockey to keep track of the files that upload, or you can upload them individually straight from the home page. Simply click the browse button to find the file you want to upload, type in an optional description of the file, and click "upload file."

UploadJockey - Upload

Once the file is finished uploading, you'll be presented with an UploadJockey link that you can then give to friends and anyone else. When your friend clicks the link, they're directed to a page at UploadJockey that has individual download links for each of the six supported services. From here you can choose a service and UploadJockey will keep track of how many times the file has been downloaded from any of the supported services.
