I tried looking under the site directory you had, but none of the links work. Is there any other sites that are active that use this script?
Hi,
Apologies, that links page is on my list to update (very soon!). Here's a few sites using the script:
https://letsupload.io
https://oxycloud.com
https://www.syncs.online
If you search Google for "File Sharing Script Created By MFScripts.com" (with the quotes) it'll list more.
My main question I have been trying to solve is "Why would someone use a website that has this service, compared to Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc".
Does this script make it easier to upload/share files than those services?
I guess there's a number of reasons depending on how you (as the site owner) use the script:
1) Self host - There are some businesses that use the script to store and manage their own files, on their own infrastructure, away from the sometimes unsuitable T&Cs of third party providers like Google. For these companies, using a third party provider wouldn't be an option.
2) White label file hosting - So running a service similar to Dropbox or Google Drive. I'd say the main difference from a customers point of view is the additional functionality via plugins. For example, FTP upload, Webdav, Torrent Download, Rewards etc. Depending on your pricing, you may also be cheaper and offer more storage. Different payment gateway support aswell. There's potentially quite a lot, depending on how you configure the script.
Remember, the script just provides the initial tools to run a white label file hosting service, you'd still need to promote it, mantain it, customise etc.
Thanks,
Adam.
