Once you have signed up for a 4shared account, you need to verify it prior to getting access to 4shared services and features.

Account verification confirms that the particular e-mail address, which you have entered while creating an account, is your actual e-mail address and ensures that you have access to it.

Only verified users can access their 4shared accounts, share and download files and folders, preview files, leave comments to files, or use other essential features of the service.

Upon the creation of your 4shared account, you will receive an e-mail with a verification link. To confirm the verification of your account, you only need to click on this link.

Having clicked on the link, your web browser will open with a notification, that your 4shared account has been verified.

In case nothing happens after you click on the verification link, you need to copy & paste it in your web browser.

In case you haven't received an e-mail with a verification link, please, check the Spam folder at your e-mail account.

4shared Premium users can access their accounts via FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

FTP is a convenient way to upload, download and manage 4shared hosted files. The advantage of this method is the absence of advertisements for everybody (whether the user has Premium membership, or not).

If you aren't currently using 4shared Desktop or access 4shared.com, all you need is a default Internet browser to use this method.

To access files with the browser quickly:

1. Enter ftp.4shared.com in the address bar of the browser and press Enter.
2. Enter your 4shared login and password in the required fields.
3. You'll have access to the contents of your 4shared account. You can now browse and download.

4shared Premium users can access their accounts via SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol).

SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a convenient network protocol, which enables the user to access, transfer and manage files over a completely secure data stream.

This method is also for using 4shared Desktop or accessing 4shared.com – and the only thing needed is a default Internet browser.

To access files with the browser quickly:

1. Enter sftp.4shared.com in the address bar of the browser and press Enter.
2. Enter your 4shared login and password in the required fields.
