1. What is ShareCow?

ShareCow was built as a service for businesses and individuals to easily and privately transfer files over the Internet. Our users are able to upload large files, up to 200MB per upload session, and afterwards make them available to others using their unique download URL.

Files are stored on ShareCow as long as they are downloaded at least once every 7 days. Files that are not downloaded for a 7 day period will be automatically removed from the ShareCow servers.

2. Where all the files?

ShareCow does not provide listings or indexes of the files that are stored on ShareCow to the public. We are NOT a free-for-all download service. If you don't have a download URL you won't see any files.

3. How long will my files be available once I upload them?

Files not accessed for 7 days will be automatically removed from the system.

4. I'm concerned about viruses and spyware. Do you modify my files?

We do not touch, look at, modify the contents, or otherwise mess around with your files. You download exactly the same files that you upload.

Files found to contain Viruses/Spyware/Adware/etc will be removed immediately from the system

5. What exactly do you do with my files?

We do not touch, look at, modify the contents, or otherwise mess around with your files. You download exactly the same files that you upload.

6. What kind of files can I upload?

You can upload any type of file you need to share; images,zip files,music,videos, office documents,.pdf, etc. Feel free to upload anything and give the link to whoever you want.

Files will be removed immediately if they are reported to be illegal.

7. Can just anyone get into my files?

When you upload files to ShareCow.com you will be provided with a unique URL that nobody else but you will know. Some of the more technically inclined folks out there may recognize that the unique portion of the URL is a Global Unique Identifier(GUID). There are exactly 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 possible GUID combinations. That means the odds of someone guessing your URL are 1 in 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456. The odds of winning the grand prize in the Powerball lottery are 1 in 146,107,962.

You can share the link with anyone you want to: keep it to yourself, post it on your MySpace profile, send it to all your friends, tell your cat, whatever you want, it's up to you.

8. I have comments/suggestions/complaints

I'd love to hear them. I'm always interested in hearing how I can make this site work better for everyone.  Please send all communications to admin@ShareCow.com

9.What happens if I forget/lose my link?

Due to the fact that we don't collect personal information there is no way for us to retrieve the link for you. The files will be automatically removed from our system within 7 days

10.I'm having problems with the file that I downloaded. Can you help me?

You need to contact the person or website that you received the download URL from.

11.When are you going to post/update/make available the file to fix my problem?

ShareCow does not post files for download. We are not affiliated with any site, business, or individual that has files posted on ShareCow. We only provide a service that allows people to share their files. If you are waiting for someone to post a file for you, please contact that person.

12.Can I link directly to files on ShareCow?

Currently we do not allow hot linking to files on stored on ShareCow. We provide a free service and we ask that you visit out site when you download files.

13. Anything else I should know?

• Files Uploads with a size of 0 KB will be ignored.
• Duplicate files in the same upload session will be ignored.
• Try to keep your file names under 100 characters. You may get an error message if you try to upload files that exceed this limit.
