4shared Desktop

4Shared Desktop is a tool for you to send content available on your computer to your 4shared account.

Likewise, it is also able to perform the reverse process by easily downloading any item to the local storage.

To use the program you must have a 4shared account, but if you do not already have one, you can easily create your own through the software interface itself, as will be explained below. The application has the interface in Portuguese, however, some secondary screens remain in English.

Initial Settings

After installation, you should make some necessary settings, and the first one is to enter your access credentials in 4shared. If you already have a registration in the service, select the option "Log in to the current account" and enter your data. Otherwise, choose the option "I'm new to 4Shared" and fill out the form displayed on the screen.

Regardless of the login alternative you use, the next step is to choose the service folder that should be synced to your computer. Once this is done, the procedure is complete and the application displays a short tutorial on its functions.

Easy management

There is no doubt that 4shared is one of the most popular applications for sharing files online, especially for the ease of uploading and the large storage space offered, even for free accounts. The idea of the desktop application is to help you manipulate the use of files through the service.

Once installed, the application is now completely ready for use. Through it, you can make both downloads of files available in the service and carry out loading of items into your account. In addition, if for any reason one of the processes is interrupted, you can resume it from the point at which it stopped.

Quick procedures

The processes are performed very simply. To upload, simply go to the "Upload" tab, click "Upload" and indicate the files to upload. The progress of operations can be tracked in real time on the program screen through the progress bar displayed on the screen and, in general, they are usually very fast.

In the case of the download, you can go to the "Download" tab if you want to save something on your computer that is already in your account. Otherwise, you can use the search engine by entering a keyword and waiting for the results to load. The listed items can be downloaded through the context menu or by the button available for the task.

In addition, so you do not leave anything messy, you can create folders in the program to organize content by type, for example.

Usage preferences

In the configurations available in the program, you can initialize it together with Windows, auto login, minimize to the Tray when initializing, show tips etc. Likewise, you can configure the upload parameters, set whether the operation should be manual or started immediately after the request, among other options.

Regarding the download, you can define the folder in which the files should be stored or indicate that there is a request to choose before downloading an item. In addition, there is also a way to define whether the process will start automatically or manually.

4Shared Desktop is a very useful application, especially for those who already use 4shared or want to adopt the service as their source for searching files and doing item sharing. The program has a friendly and intuitive interface, separating functions in tabs and showing the main alternatives in the form of button.

In addition, it is entirely in Portuguese, something that can make its use even simpler, especially for those who do not have much affinity with this type of program. The process for manipulating files in your account (upload or download) is done in a few clicks, being necessary to basically define the items involved in the operation.

If you download files that are hosted on the service but not in your account, you can use the search engine, which is very efficient. At least during our tests, the results were relevant to the term searched and obtained quickly.

Basic Settings

The program is now completely ready to use, and it is only necessary to add the data of your account in 4shared so that you can already enjoy its functions. If you wish, you can have even better experiences by arranging the files in directories on the application screen - something that can later facilitate the visual identification of the items.

In addition, it has some usage preferences that you can adjust in settings, including the folder on your computer where files are to be stored.

Efficient

Even operating in the background, the program is very light and should not harm the use of the computer. It can make your internet connection slower, especially for those who have a plan with a slightly lower bandwidth. However, one way to get around the problem is to limit the number of operations as well as their speed.

In addition, the service allows to perform all operations in batches. So, for all its good points and the ease of use of the program, surely it should be a good tool, especially for those who already like 4shared.
