The Evolution of Cloud File Sharing: From Slow FTP to Instant Streaming

Sharing files on the internet has come a long way over the last few decades.

• The 1990s: Slow FTP servers where downloading a single song took half an hour.
• The 2000s: Early file hosting sites with 60-second waiting timers, captchas, and pop-up windows.
• Today: Modern creator platforms like PlayMast where multi-gigabyte videos stream instantly in full HD, integrated directly with messaging apps like Telegram.
