Dear Users,

FileSonic.com is now offering a new account type, collaboration, and this thread was opened by us to listen to your feedback on this new account type.

What is Collaboration?

Collaboration space allows files to be shared with everyone and without the standard download limitations. Downloads will start immediately and with pro user speeds.

What is the benefit to you?

The Collaborate account allows unlimited use; unlimited file sharing, storage, storage time, downloading and speed for a small extra in price, $15 a month instead of $9 a month for pro.

Best regards,
Marco

Collaboration or direct/hot linking feature is great for people who wish to sell their digital products like audio, video, software etc or for those who wish to share their files freely.

Including collaboration plan in download page might not be useful as most downloader's only wish to download others uploaded files and they might not be interested in collaboration which might put them in confusion sometimes concerning which plan to choose.
 
that's nice that you have a new account type, But I have serious doubts that you will find a lot of collaborates in the cash focused environment of this forum :sun:
just my 2 cts.




and I repeat: the new interface sucks. You can define it with North-Korean attitude as state of the art. I disagree. :P It looks prettier than the old one but has by far less usability.
 
But u won't earn anything from posting collaboration links so 90% nobody will
Use it but i have a question if my link sales a collaboration account Its like getting a premium sale right and I earn from it right?
If yes then
Its awesome

Collaborate offers more option to affiliates and unlimited file sharing for all users, give the new interface some time, you will see that it works better and faster than the old one.

If you get a sale from a standard link, pro or collaborate, you will earn from it. Collaborate links might offer new opportunities for both affiliates and users.

User will have the option to have unlimited file sharing, not all file hosts offer users the option to have an account without limits

Still, if I am collaborate that means my users will have unlimited speed and unlimited downloads so what is the point for them to buy premium accounts?

I don't get this move at all, doesn't make sense.

Limited file sharing at pro account is ??

Unlimited file sharing means both the account holder and the downloader get no download limitation, with limited file sharing the downloader or free user gets download limitation

The collaborate account give user the advantages of pro plus the ability to share without limits, users that only want to download an not share will still have to pro option. Users will have more options to match their needs

Best regads,

Marco, tell the truth.

Collaborate files are just treated as free files, just one connection and no resume. The only difference is that there is no waiting time.

I think the new option would be great, if there were no restrictions.At $15 it would be a steal. But now, not really.

one connection & no resume is a bad news :facepalm:

However, is it possible to upgrade from a pro membership directly?
Now I'm a lifetime pro member.
I clicked the rectangle of COLLABORATION and it told me:
Logged in as xxxxxx

Unfortunately we are unable to upgrade your account at the moment. To purchase a collaboration membership, you must create a new account.

To create a new account means I have to remote upload from FSC to FSC, because I want to set half of my uploaded files in my current account.
I know many cyberlockers don't allow it.
Shall I download them from my current account and upload them to my new account?
