UsersDrive in one page
UsersDrive is a file hosting service: you upload a file, you get a link, other people download it. A premium account removes the waiting, the captcha and the advertising, and lifts the limits on size and daily volume. Below is what each account level actually gives you, what the plans cost, and how the reward program pays uploaders.
Premium from $2
Six lengths, from three days to a full year. The year works out at about 19 cents a day.
Unlimited while premium
No cap on file size, on storage or on how much you download in a day.
Up to $17 per 2,500 downloads
The reward program pays per download, by country tier and file size, plus 20% of what the people you refer earn.
Free, registered and premium, side by side
The free and registered levels are usable. What you are buying with premium is the removal of the three things that slow a download down, plus the limits going away.
