With RapidContact we have added a tool to our new website which lets users get to know each other and communicate with each other. With this feature RapidShare makes the world a little smaller as from now on users can find other users with similar interests and come into contact with them, no matter where on earth they are. The seamless integration with RapidShare offers millions of people new and unprecedented communication possibilities.
On Thursday, October 7th, we will start with a beta version of RapidContact. At first, only RapidPro users with VIP status are eligible for the service. We will send participation codes to all VIP users on Thursday.
Together with the users we will then test all functionalities and develop the application further during the beta phase.
Those who want to be among the first users of RapidContact should make sure they are given the exclusive VIP status until Thursday. Users are granted VIP status when extending RapidPro for 12 x 30 days instead of a simple 30 days extension. In addition, users receive a 7 percent discount when deciding for this long-time extension of RapidPro.
RapidContact could not be easier: Users can find each other through a simple search. In every profile there is a field called "find me". If you enter the word "dancing", for example, in this field, then all other RapidContact users who search for "dancing" themselves can find and come in contact with you.

RapidShare listens and acts: One package for all users
As a result of the recent adjustments to our product and pricing model we have received a lot of feedback from our users. There was also positive response but we want to be honest with you: most answers were negative. With our adjustments we have alienated many users. As a matter of course, that was not our intention. Instead, it is our goal to introduce a system that gives our users more flexibility. However, we are happy about every single user response that we have received as this is the only way we can learn what our users really want. That is the reason why we have fundamentally revised our offer one more time and made it much simpler.
In addition to the free Premium Accounts, with immediate effect there is only one package for everybody: RapidPro
For 99 Rapids users immediately receive a traffic volume of 30 GB and a storage volume of 10 GB which last for 30 days.
If users need more volume, they can buy extra volume, of course. Each additional 1 GB of storage costs 2 Rapids per 30 days. 5 GB additional traffic volume will be charged with only 14 Rapids.
Unused traffic volume does not expire.
You will only be charged for additional storage if you activate the "keep files forever" option.
The prices for Rapids remain the same as before.
That means that users can use their RapidPro 30 days for only 99 Cent making the new RapidShare second to none also in terms of value for money.
Please note that users have the following options in their account settings:
We are convinced that we will meet our users' needs with the new and simple model.

- Keep files forever: This option is not activated in the default settings. This means that if users exceed their storage volume, files that have not been downloaded for 60 days will automatically be deleted.
- Automatic purchase of traffic: This option is activated in the default settings. As soon as users reach the limit of their traffic volume, they will automatically buy additional volume.
- Automatic RapidPro Extension: This option is activated in the default settings. RapidPro-Packages will automatically be extended after 30 days if the user still has Rapids left.
We are convinced that we will meet our users' needs with the new and simple model.
