How To Browse Any Website Via Google Cached Pages
Google automatically takes a “snapshot” of each page it crawls and archives it. This “cached” version allows a webpage to be retrieved for your end users if the original page is ever unavailable (due to temporary failure of the page’s web server). The cached page appears to users exactly as it looked when Google last crawled it, and Google display a message at the top of the page to indicate that it’s a cached version of the website. You can access the cached version by choosing the “Cached” link on the search results page.

If you want to prevent all search engines from showing a “Cached” link for your site, place this tag in the <HEAD> section of your page:

<meta name=”robots” content=”noarchive”>
To allow other search engines to show a “Cached” link, preventing only Google from displaying one, use the following tag:

<meta name=”googlebot” content=”noarchive”>

FileDropper’s beauty is in its simplicity. It has one click file hosting where you simply click on the upload button and select your file.

FileFactory lets you host files up to 300MB for free. You don’t have to register and there is nothing to download. Your files can be downloaded an unlimited number of times! One thing we found very annoying and spammy about FileFactory was the number of ads they have on the page.

Fileqube has an eye-pleasing design that shows its intentions well. When you upload a personal file it gives you a download link, a link to remove the file, and embed code to drop your file’s link on a website. The only downside is the 150MB file size, which is rather small with some of the other sites in comparison.
