RapidGator Premium Account in Test?Lohnt itself the access ??
Interface and use
In our test, Rapidgator stood out due to its excellent usability and very easy handling. Files can be uploaded and downloaded without any previous knowledge – and with just a few clicks. It doesn’t get much easier than that. Registration is only required if you want to download files. Uploading also works without registration. The registration itself is free of charge and is quick and easy. Personal data is not required for registration. Only an e-mail address must be entered.
Also the file manager knows how to convince and impresses with a clear structure and a good overview. Uploading files is quick and easy and all uploads can be sorted by name, file type, file size and date of upload. The number of downloads is also displayed for each file. The management is intuitive by creating folders in which the individual files can be moved.
A particularly practical feature: the search function. With it, all files can be found quickly and the entire storage space can be searched. Unfortunately there is no possibility to encrypt your data with a password. In contrast to other file sharers, a small minus point.
The website makes a good impression overall. Also here Rapidgator is clearly structured and does without annoying popups or banners. Furthermore, the website is available in numerous languages: From English, French, German, Spanish and Russian to Turkish and Danish. No one is left by the wayside.
Overview of payment gateways
Rapidgator offers secure and professional payment processing. You can pay with the following payment methods:
As with most file sharing services, Rapidgator does not offer the possibility to pay via PayPal. However, you can pay with the crypto currency Bitcoin at Rapidgator. We like that! The Rapidgator customer support does not get top marks from us. This is mainly due to the fact that the customer service can only be reached via email (contact form) – and the answers sometimes take a little time. What a pity, many competitors offer customer service by phone. This is not always necessary, but can be worth its weight in gold, especially for urgent inquiries. . An additional problem: Customer support is available in English, French, Spanish, Russian and Chinese – but not in German. This can become a problem, especially when technical terms are involved. At least: Our inquiries were solved satisfactorily and the employees have left a positive impression overall. There is also a well-structured FAQ area for quick help. . No need to worry about passing on personal data to third parties or for advertising purposes with Rapidgator. Private data is treated strictly personal, only cookies are stored. However, the file-sharing service reserves the right to block or completely delete accounts in case of copyright violations or illegal content. The uploaded files are backed up by Rapidgator to a second server. However, in the free version of the this backup (in case of inactivity) is only stored for 30 days. With the Rapidgator Premium Account, the data is not deleted even in the case of inactivity. In general: The data is not encrypted and cannot be encrypted even with an optional password. However, this is not a problem, as downloading without a download link is extremely unlikely. In addition, Rapidgator is checked 24/7 for viruses, malfunctions and other problems. Small deficiency: Where the filehoster’s servers are located is not cleared up. Rapidgator was founded in Cyprus in 2010 and has since experienced a relatively rapid rise. Today Rapidgator has millions of customers every day using the service to store files, make backups and download files. In order to achieve this, the servers are located in strategic and central locations for Internet traffic, according to Rapidgator. In April 2012 Rapidgator.net was acquired by Rapidgator Ltd. After German authorities took the then largest German file hosting company Share Online off the net in October 2019 due to a lack of removal and tracking of the distribution of copyrighted material, several online portals also reported take downs of German Rapidgator Premium accounts. Although this did happen, we cannot confirm the rumor that Rapidgator completely locked out German users in order to prevent future measures. You can still use this filehoster with full functionality in German-speaking countries. What we are currently seeing, however, is that more and more file hosters, including Rapidgator, are more consistent in pursuing and taking down users who violate the law. Therefore we would like to remind you that when sharing media, you should make sure that you do not violate any copyrights and only share images, documents and video files to which you hold the rights. .security of the provider
