Today I came across fileswap, which allows you to upload a file and then get a file in return! It is a funny idea and I tried a few files. Most of the time I got interesting image files in return. Obviously the quality of the stuff on this network will depend on how people use it!

As you can guess, only text files, image files and pdf documents are supported. You cannot upload executables or zip files. This means most of the malicious stuff is automatically excluded. There is also a 500KB file size limit in place.

Another interesting site similar to this is the LinkSwap which allows you to swap links instead of files.  The risk with links is that it can go anywhere. Hence there is an approval system in place.

Another clone is the SketchSwap. This is the most interesting of all since it allows you to swap hand drawn images. Some of them are pretty good!
