Advantages: None Disadvantages: Massive security flaw, no features, everything else.
...your information. An excellent idea. FingerTipFiles.com are one of those companies.
At first glance, the site doesn't look like much. And really, it doesn't get any better. Out of all of the file storage services, you'll he hard-pushed to find a less-featured, ugly, miserable site than this one. It's an absolute joke.
Signing up is a waste of time, you'll never remember your name and password. You are GIVEN your name ... ...can't choose or change it. Ever. Of course, it doesn't really matter, due to the fact you are given an absolutely pathetic 5Mb storage space.
Once you're logged in, you're presented with a white screen with a box and two buttons... nothing else. You choose the file to upload, and that's it. It appears, with two options. Download or Delete.

We all reach this stage some day. Your hard-drive is absolutely full to breaking point, no matter how hard you try, you just can't cram another file onto your magnetic platters of information. Saving up for a CD-R or Zip Drive would take you months, and you need the space NOW. Thankfully, some companies are allowing you to use their servers to store your information. An excellent idea. FingerTipFiles.com are one of those companies.

Signing up is a waste of time, you'll never remember your name and password. You are GIVEN your name and password based on your name, and that's it. You can't choose or change it. Ever. Of course, it doesn't really matter, due to the fact you are given an absolutely pathetic 5Mb storage space.

If you accidentally click Delete, that's it. Your file is gone. There are no other options. No customisation at all. No folders.
To be honest, it'll be a miracle if you get a file bigger than 100K up there. I fell off my chair laughing when I received this following error message...
"error 'ASP 0113' Script timed out
/newfile.asp
The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeOut or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools."
Oh, and security? There are none. Most storage sites use cookies to prevent only you getting hold of your files. But no, not these. You can log on, view, upload and delete files to your account without even knowing your password. Telling you how to do this would obviously not be wise, so I won't even hint at it.
I wouldn't trust this site with a scanned image of my worst enemy. Never have I had the misfortune to discover such an amateur pile of rotting tripe in all of my life. Beware at all costs.
Advantages: straightforward, no gimics Disadvantages: small folder size
...and downloaded the files.
Fingertipfiles.com is not a very fancy site and does not offer cutting edge graphics, it stores your files and you download then and
that is it. The procedure is fast and the registration form is not overwhelming, just five or six questions. You cannot choose
your own password and the one generated is not at all memorable so you need to write it down (and if travelling like me leave a note of it with someone you trust!)
