RapidShare, founded in 2006, is one of the biggest and fastest one-click file hosts in the world.

With a storage capacity of several petabytes (a petabyte is a million gigabytes) and an internet connection that transfers hundreds of gigabytes simultaneously, RapidShare has the infrastructure required to meet high demands.

With one-click hosting, rapidshare premium users can upload big files in one step and subsequently make them available to friends and family via the download link. The download link can only be accessed by the person who has stored the file. In this way, data is secured against unauthorised access. Apart from the free service, Premium Accounts are available that offer additional convenience and can be purchased from 72 hours to a year. Additionally, TrafficShare provides the option to make files available for direct downloading. The recipient of the file can access it instantaneously even if he/she is not a Premium Account member of RapidShare.

In the entertainment area, gamers can find the latest patches, demos and trailers to download with their rapidshare premium accounts.
