Comments on: DropSend http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2006/01/02/dropsend/ Things that Eric A. Meyer, CSS expert, writes about on his personal Web site; it's largely Web standards and Web technology, but also various bits of culture, politics, personal observations, and other miscellaneous stuff Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:30:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Michael http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2006/01/02/dropsend/#comment-42925 Michael Tue, 15 Aug 2006 00:11:55 +0000 http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2006/01/02/dropsend/#comment-42925 I would also give Dliveo a try as well. It’s more of a direct person to person sending model kind of like e-mail but with no attachment size limits. No storage to manage, and it’s also currently FREE.

I think this type of sevices have a bright future. I give you an exemple: if i want to send large professional images for printing is very dificult using a simple email acount…the solution is something like drop send… a good idea is the desktop uploader tool.

These are great for clients who don’t want to have to learn ftp to send you large files, and they can really save your mailbox.

And it is peer-to-peer so you don’t need to publicly host what might be private data on some 3rd party server.

It looks like they just obfuscate them via random hex. It seems a bit iffy to just leave them wide open on a web server.

Personally, I think prefer using chat or Subversion to share large files. Chat isn’t secure, but at least an attacker has to go to the trouble to intercept the whole transmission instead of just one line in an email.

It’s a free service, and files up to 1GB are excepted. Dropsend’s upload tool might be decisive though.
