Ads are a major source of income for the majority of websites and in most cases users, have nothing against being shown a few ads in exchange for free content or services. However, in some cases publishers try to mask these ads and make them look like relevant links cases in order to trick users into clicking these ads. This is especially common with file sharing websites. For example, when a user wants to download a shared file, he or she is often presented with multiple download URLs on the page and doesn’t know which one is real. Clicking on such hidden ads also runs users the risk of downloading possible viruses or intrusive software. Clicking on an ad which leads you to a different website is a one thing, but downloading and opening suspicious files or software onto your computer is a whole other level of annoyance and potential problems for your computer.
Even if you are completely sure about our ability to distinguish ads from content, or maybe you even use an ad blocking browser extension, it is not the case with all users. That is why users have to be careful when choosing what sites to use for share files with other people.
Cometdocs is a free service that enables users to convert and share files online without ads. The download page is clear and clutter-free, and there is only one download URL present on it, so you have no issue with having to guess which one you need to click.
To share a file with Cometdocs, you should be logged in as a registered user. Unregistered users can share files using Cometdocs as well, but in that case, the sharing URL will be valid for only 24h. Registration is free and it gives users a lot of sharing options in terms of privacy and sharing methods.
After you have dragged your uploaded file to Store tab, select the file and click on Share.
As you can see, there are multiple sharing options available – you can share files with other Cometdocs users, or to others outside of Cometdocs using a private URL or a public one.
The main point and advantage of sharing with Cometdocs is that the download page is completely safe and easy to navigate. There is only one download link, which guarantees that you will never click on ads or any other annoyances while trying to download a file from Cometdocs.
