[edit] Name and logo
The name and logo of the website are in the style of the video-sharing website YouTube. While the old logo looked almost identical to the YouTube logo (with "Files" replacing "You" and the logo color being blue), slight changes have been made to the current logo.
[edit] Reception
Donnie Jenkins of Chattanooga Times Free Press called the website "a dedicated search site to find downloadable files such as audio, video and documents".[9]
[edit] Acception
As an attempt to rid the problem of illegal downloads, Malaysia has currently blocked access to FilesTube and other several file-sharing websites online.
