As announced by Rapidshare a few weeks ago: Rapidshare will close its doors on March 31, 2015. “We ask all customers to save their data. From March 31, 2015, access will no longer be possible and all accounts will be automatically deleted ”, so for some time on the Rapidshare homepage.
Why is Rapidshare closing?
Rapidshare will close because a lot of illegal content such as stolen music, videos and questionable files have been uploaded to Rapidshare, and Rapidshare has already been sued for this, so Rapidshare will close. But the legal problems are not the only reason for the closure. The great competition has also made it increasingly difficult for RapidShare. Megaupload and various other competitors are getting more and more users. So now it's over.
Can I save my data?
Yes you can. But hurry up! Because they will probably be at 23:59 pm today Server shut down, all accounts deleted & all files irrevocably turned off. The best thing to do is to download the files and save them to an external hard drive.
But a clone of the filehoster is already online: Rapidshare.cc. There you can upload files with one click, directly from the browser.
