When I hear "file sharing," I think "file stealing." The MPAA has conditioned me well, I suppose. But -- and I say this fully conscious of the seeming sponsorship-fueled hyperbole it sounds like -- there's an online file storage company so good it's *like* I'm stealing... from them!
I dunno. That's painful. (Note to self: rewrite intro. Embarrassingly bad.)
The point is, Driveway.com has a cool file sharing system that you don't even have to register to use. The home page has a file upload box. Click it, pick a file from your computer. It uploads the file and gives you the new URL for the file. Up to 500MB for a file.
Awe-some.
Now, as I said, they're sponsoring this post. But I'd recommend them anyway. (But for the fact that I'm too lazy these days to just write a post for fun.) Temporary, free online storage. The FAQ doesn't answer any of the questions that have frequently occurred to me -- what else are they doing with the files? What info is logged with uploads and downloads? How on Earth do they plan to stay in business more than a week or two? And is the answer to that question related to the first two? (Are they going to be opening a set of content sites in a few weeks, with lots of pictures and documents they magically 'found' on one of their servers?)
So don't use it for anything sensitive. And don't expect the files to hang around for a long time. But for routine gunk that won't fit in email, Driveway's a lot easier than burning a CD and mailing it to somebody!
I bookmarked it, which is the Tom Dalton Seal of Approval. Until they go out of business, they'll be frequent, um, customers of mine. (Frequent servers of mine? Servants? We're reached the edge of the English language! Oh no!)
