A new non-commercial file-sharing portal is doing something the experts label as incredible. Website called Files4Food offers a free meal to any kid who needs it for each file shared by using this portal.



This file-sharing service was the idea of Gridblaze company, a Content Storage Networks service, which is hoping to raise food for those who need it, currently covering seventeen countries throughout the globe. The meals will be managed and administered by Food For The Poor – one of the largest international relief outfit in the United States.

A week ago, Files4Food has started the program aimed at changing the opinion of the public about file-sharing. The service offered is absolutely free and doesn’t include any annoying adverts. The portal allows everyone to upload files of up to 1GB without registration.

Despite the fact that the company behind this new portal has initiated the program on their own expense, it still welcomes contributors and sponsors. Those who want to help the company are going to appear on the download page, but not in the form of ads.

One more advantage coming with using this portal is speed. Gridblaze’s Content Storage Networks employs the technology behind Files4Food, which is the fastest in the world in terms of sharing content – both downloading and uploading.

It means that the newly introduced service keeps the uploaded files as close as possible to the Internet user, by automatically routing and storing the content close to the point of origin. In a couple days after its launch, Files4Food has gathered over 1,000 meals. This initiative shows that file-sharing doesn’t only harm. It can also help the others.
