Английская Википедия:4shared
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox website 4shared, also known as 4shared.com, is a file-sharing website.
Features
4shared supports the WebDAV, FTP, and SFTP protocols, in addition to having a web interface. 4shared is a freemium service, with significant usage limitations on non-paying users, such as a daily bandwidth limit of 3 GB.[1]
History
In 2011, 4shared was ranked the largest file-sharing website, beating out others such as Megaupload and MediaFire.[2]
The site was labelled as a notorious market in 2016: "While 4shared provides legitimate file-storage services, the site also facilitates the streaming and downloading of high volumes of allegedly pirated videos, music, books, and video games."[3]
In 2019, 4shared's Android app was discovered to be serving invisible advertisements to users, and automatically signing them up for unwanted services. The app was replaced with a non-malicious version on April of the same year, after being removed on Google Play.[4]
