5 FilesTube Alternatives

When FilesTube morphed from the most popular file sharing search engine into a streaming platform for licensed independent movies and documentaries on December 1, 2014, a lot of people were upset. FilesTube had been the best way to find files hosted at one-click hosters such as Rapidgator. We will review a few alternatives here.

FileDiva

FileDiva is a file meta search engine, that aggregates results from several file sharing sites. FileTram and filespr among them. The search interface is not executed very well excuted and quite confusing. I don't like it.

FileKnow

FileKnow's interface is similar to FilesTube's old interface when they were still a file search engine. While that is okay, they could work on their interface and create something better. But people who are used to the old FilesTube interface will feel right at home. One disadvantage FileKnow has to the old FilesTube is that they don't support as many file hosts as FilesTube did and their index is presumably much smaller.

usemeplz

usemeplz also has an interface which is very similar to the old FilesTube and they support dozens of file sharing hosts, though still less than FilesTube used to.

FilesLoop

FilesLoop is also a meta file search engine. Their interface is quite slick, but I don't like the fact, that they present file links from each file search engine as separate. I just want to enter a search term and get file links listed in one easy list.

filespr

The interface of filespr is very nice and well-arranged. It is very similar to the old FilesTube interface. They support a dozen or so file hosts at the time of this writing, so their search index can't be as large as FilesTube's.

Conclusion

I'm not really happy with any one of the FilesTube alternatives. If I have more time in the future I might write my own file search engine to fill a void in the market.
