What is Share-a-File?
Put simply, Share-a-File @ MyStudies.NET is a file hosting site that allows users to upload large files (photos, videos, music, etc.) to send to friends, family and colleagues. The site provides users with a link to their file that can easily be sent via email or instant messenger for viewing or download without having to worry about file size limitations of email and messenger applications. Share-a-File’s services are also handy for the light traveler to store his/her largest files for easy retrieval.

Can I resume broken downloads?
Yes, but only if you own a Gold or Platinum account. These two types of accounts support download accelerators. Those programs support resuming of broken files and even segmented downloads. This means you can download the same file with many streams, resulting in a higher download speed.

Can I delete my uploaded files?
Sure you can! After your upload, you will get two links. The download link, which you give to everyone you want, and a delete link, which you keep for yourself. Just click on the delete link and your file will be deleted immediately.
