Another useful feature is the ability to set how long the file will be available before it is automatically deleted. > > **Cons**: The tool has limited access under the free plan, which can be challenging compared to other tools like Google Drive. While it is similar to Google Drive, Google Drive offers a wider range of services. If all features were available for free, this tool could be even more competitive. > > It has been very good overall. I’ve really enjoyed using the tool, especially for sharing files with other organisations. I would rate it 9 out of 10. ----- ### "Best File Share and Download" — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *17 May 2025* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: My business as a photographer requires that I transfer gigabytes of files to client and I use LimeWire to fulfill that need. There are several aspects of this site that make this very easy to do. Uploads: I like the ease of use and the user interface. The drag and drop works well and if you segment your files into well named sub-folders, your upload gets a meaningful title for your clients. I like the dynamic upload status so you are aware of where you are in the upload. Uploading is a snap with the drag and drop interface. Functionally for my clients, I like the gallery view that is presented where they can look at the gallery as a whole or individually in sequence. Downloads: This also applies to the downloads which they can do individually or as a whole folder. It's handy to be able to download a single file or all at once and view the entire gallery singly or all at once. Overall, LimeWire is simple to use and does the job. What more could you want. > > **Cons**: I haven't been able to find an area that shows your current status with regards to used file space. Also, using some of the tools (Image to vector, convert to pdf, upscale image) comes at a price but that is not a concern for me as my main use is file transfer. > > My experience thus far has been excellent. It does what it says with ease and it provides a professional interface for my clients. ----- ### "🍋‍🟩cloud storage alternative" — 4.0/5 > **Isrohan** | *19 March 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a fast platform, you can upload your files and every upload will be easy to share or access from any device. > > **Cons**: It's not so friendly to edit the 'folders' that are created with each upload. The a.i. generative tool is just basic. > > It's interesting, the tier also gives you certain amount of credits to use for trying their a.i. image editing platform ----- ### "15 plus years still amazing." — 5.0/5 > **Alexis** | *19 February 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Limewire is that I can burn Cds and put anything I want on them right from my phone. > > **Cons**: What I like least about Limewire are the viruses that it can cause when using the product or app or when searching through it. > > Overall I have used Limewire for over 15 years and it never fails to be one of the best places to get any kind of music or videos from. ----- ### "The resurrected LimeWire is one of the top in its field. Period." — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *6 May 2025* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: So I've used different storage services before in the past, like Mega and Google Drive, but I find that LimeWire is a very unique service that provides certain things that these two do not. For example the amount of data that I can store here and the ability to quickly link and share it is a very powerful tool that allows me to better others in my daily life. Sometimes I write PDF files that respond to people's trauma or different things that occur in their lives, so by using a service like limewire, and Limewire in particular for its many benefits and advantages, over other competitors. I also work systems administration, and the system that they use for security is very thorough. Each file is cryptographically hashed so that it's secure and safe and unable to be shared with others unless if they have the link specifically. That's a very powerful thing to have. That means that I can directly respond to survivors and abuse victims, and respond in a way that is safe and encrypted for them and their messages and what we have to respond with. Thus this is why I like LimeWire in particular. > > **Cons**: It doesn't really have any cons from what I've seen. I've noticed that it runs pretty well and the download speed is pretty decent, especially for a free service that required simply a Google login. That's very powerful for me, because it means I can respond to a few hundred people every few weeks instead of just dozens. That's amazing. > > I have to rate My overall experience with LimeWire to be a 10 out of 10. I have found no flaws in the program, it has safety and encryption, the account security is on par, and I feel that my data will be saved for years if I need to be an accessed at any time. That's pretty awesome. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/525185/LimeWire?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/525185/LimeWire) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
