Summary of online storage sites where uploaded users make more money as files are downloaded
In the article
At first, RapidShare and MEGAUPLOAD had a large share in online storage, but the more Hotfiles were downloaded, the more points they accumulated, and by introducing a mechanism that could be converted into cash, they quickly caught up and expanded their share. Mimicking it, other sites introduced similar mechanisms one after another, and it is in a ridiculous situation like the present.
So, I briefly summarized what kind of mechanism is provided for online storage sites that have many users from Japan at the moment.
First, we used the following data to find out which online storage sites have the most users in Japan.
``Current users'' of file-sharing software are 5.8% ~Results of questionnaire survey on actual usage~

In the PDF file ' Survey report on the use of file sharing software (preliminary version) ' that can be downloaded from the above site, the name of the file sharing software that is actually used frequently and the tendency of the files shared by each file sharing software In addition, we publish data by specifically listing site names about what kind of sites are often used on online storage sites, which is quite helpful.
According to this, the top 10 popular online storage sites from Japan are as follows.
1st place: MEGAUPLOAD
2nd place: Easy Share
3rd place:MediaFire
4th place: RapidShare
5th place: FileServe
6th place: uploader.jp
7th place: Hotfile
8th place: File Factory
9th place: BADONGO
10th place: Zippyshare
Looking at each, it looks like this.

If you look at it like this, you can see that each of them is devising various ways to compete fiercely, but it seems impossible to make money with this system by legal means ....

If you use it when distributing something you personally created, it may be possible, but there is a reason why I wrote that it is impossible to do it by legal means.
The reason why more users become premium members by paying money at these file storage sites is that if you are not a paid member, you will have to wait 30 seconds to 1 minute or more to download, sometimes about 25 minutes. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to have a paid account.
Also, since the download speed is restricted for non-paid members, and the number of downloads that can be downloaded per 24 hours is limited, users who have become increasingly irritated become paid premium members That's why.
Therefore, rather than a model in which one user downloads one file, it is the liver of this ``the more you download, the more profitable'' system that is established for the first time when one user tries to download a large number of files. It's a part.
This is probably the reason why this model is difficult to establish if there are only files that can be legally distributed, and the larger the file size, the greater the revenue sharing.
