File Sharing: The Slow Way
Quite often I need to share large files with friends and colleagues but where I work it is too hard to setup an FTP server, which would be my preferred option. Here comes dropload.com to the rescue, this site allows you to upload a file, which is less than 100Mb in size and allow someone else to download the file. The only stipulation is that the receiver must have an email address. The site will delete files uploaded after 7 days even if the file has not been downloaded by the recipient, which is both good and bad. This is pretty good but my problems is that there is no real security on the files that you are sharing other than the email address and 100Mb is not necessarily large enough for some of the files that I share. Nonetheless it is still a great site that solves the problem of sharing semi-large files between people.
