Free file hosting

Useful list but seems that not all are free.
Certainly the first one, Filedropper which has a whopping 50 GB of storage for each user only offers at best a 7-day free trial.
I tried out Fileqube and it looks good. Easy to use, is free, and allows files up to 150 MB to be uploaded. 2GB o free storage.
Haven't yet tried any of the others.
A big problem with these, however, is the generally very low upload rate wich I have (25 KB/s). Maybe this will increase when my ISP (Eircom) increases the download rate to 3 Mbps (which is 375 KB/s) shortly.
Incidentally, this is not fast by world standards. I see that right now in parts of London and Paris 10 Mbps is available which is 1250 KB/s. Not sure what upload rate they have there but, proportionately, it could be in the region of 125 KB/s.
