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 ----- ### ""Mixed Blessings: The LimeWire Experience"" — 5.0/5 > **Lalit** | *17 March 2025* | Investment Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: LimeWire was popular for its user-friendly interface, vast selection of content, fast download speeds, community features, and customization options. > > **Cons**: LimeWire had issues with copyright infringement, frequent malware risks, unreliable file quality, slow search results at times, and a lack of official support after its shutdown. > > My overall experience with LimeWire was mixed; it offered easy access to a vast range of media and quick downloads, but concerns about copyright issues and malware made it a risky choice. ----- ### "A Must-Have Tool for Every Entrepreneur and Coach\!" — 5.0/5 > **Christine** | *11 June 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a coach for entrepreneurs, I’m constantly sending large files — from video trainings to podcast recordings and media assets — and Limewire has been an absolute game-changer\! It's fast, reliable, and incredibly easy to use. No more frustrating delays or complicated workarounds — I can send huge files in just a few clicks and know they’ll arrive safely and quickly. > > **Cons**: There are truly no cons at all with LimeWire. I love this platform\! It’s fast, reliable, and incredibly user-friendly. Every file transfer is smooth and hassle-free, which gives me peace of mind — especially when I’m sending important content to clients or collaborators. I only wish I had discovered it sooner\! > > I love how convenient it is, and it's now become a tool I recommend to all of my clients. If you're a business owner, coach, or content creator who shares large files regularly, Limewire is an absolute must-have in your business toolkit\! ----- 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
