RapidShare Manager was a Windows client for uploading files to RapidShare and managing multiple downloads. It supported queued transfers, resuming interrupted uploads and downloads, link checking, and account options for Free, Collector and Premium users. It could also create combined RSM links for sharing. RapidShare shut down in 2015, so the service is no longer available.

RapidShare Manager was a Windows client for uploading files to RapidShare and managing downloads from the file-hosting service. It was intended for RapidShare users who wanted to queue several files, handle transfers from a desktop interface and manage links without working through each file individually. RapidShare shut down in 2015, so the service the program was built to access is no longer available.
The upload queue accepted files by drag and drop or through a file-selection control. Users could choose a Free, Collector or Premium account for an upload, set how many transfers should run concurrently, and let queued files begin as active uploads finished. The manager could resume interrupted uploads and downloads, which helped continue a transfer after a connection or session was interrupted. Completed uploads offered a context-menu option to copy their download links.
For downloads, users could add RapidShare URLs directly or paste text containing links. The program extracted and checked the links, reported whether files were available, and allowed unwanted entries to be deselected before starting a transfer. The destination folder could be changed, and users could attach comments to downloads for later reference. Multiple downloads could run at once, with interrupted transfers resumable.
RapidShare Manager also combined selected upload links into an RSM link for sharing with other people using the client. A text field could extract RapidShare links from pasted material, and users could add a comment to appear to recipients during download. Since not everyone used the manager, individual download links remained a useful alternative. These functions were designed around RapidShare accounts and its own link system rather than general-purpose file hosting.
The software was distributed as freeware and was originally intended for Windows XP through Windows 8, including listed 64-bit editions of Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Windows 10 and Windows 11 compatibility is not established by those original system requirements. With RapidShare discontinued, the client has no active hosting service to connect to, limiting its present-day usefulness to examining old files or workflows rather than carrying out new uploads or downloads.
