To share files on a office or home network IP messenger is a great software. It shares files with no immediate servers in between and help accelerate the sharing process. Gtalk or Skype are other good options sometimes. When sharing through a browser Mediafire, Rapidshare and Megaupload always come to our minds. But they have their own down sides. Some require you to pay for premium accounts. All of such sites require you to wait for hours to upload if you are sharing a big file.

FilesOverMiles

If you have tried using Opera Unite (review by Saurav), reluctant to shift to opera now and want something like unite on the cloud. Then you are searching for FilesOverMiles.  FilesOverMiles lets you send files to anyone with no upload waiting times. The files are shared directly. With no servers in between the process, the sharing gets done fairly faster, especially between systems on the same network. When you upload a file to FilesOverMiles, it generates a unique secret URL. You decide whom to share the URL with. The files sent are also encrypted, thus it  ensures complete privacy.
