Aiming to make your 4shared experience on Android even better, we’ve upgraded the “Camera Upload” feature in our mobile app to streamline the backup of photos and videos from your device camera in your secure cloud storage at 4shared.
 
While the upload process has become even smoother now, we’ve also added a convenient sorting option by months to enable the faster and easier media search in your 4shared account.
 

Not only does it enable users to stream live music shows by 4shared users near you, or currently popular in your country, but start your own live stream any time, in a matter of a few clicks.

Variety of live music streams for your selection

The “Music” tab in your 4shared for Android app now has a new section called “Live”, where you can select a currently live music show for instant listening on your device.

Choose a livestream based on your location and/or music preferences, and simply click on it to start listening. In addition, follow your favorite artists to keep up with their updates and check out the new Lives just as they’re launched.

Share your music vibe by creating your own Live

Starting your own Live is super-easy.

To do that:

1. Tap an audio file in your 4shared account.

Note! Only music files, stored at 4shared (not locally on device) are available for streaming in a live.

2. Tap “Start Live.”
3. Name your livestream and tap “Start Live Now.” That’s it.
