filebox: a quick way to share files


fileboxitbutton.png

Many many times I want to quickly send a file to someone for them to look at, and I can never remember the names of the services that let you do this. But there's Ning! :)

So my 1-hour hack for tonight was to create filebox.ning.com, which allows you to upload files and then share the link with others, and it's deleted after a few days. Basically I cloned Brian's filedrop, modified some things in the code, made the uploads private, added messaging, and made it a little easier on the eye. The power of Ning at work. :)

Really? You regularly email 10-megabyte files? :-)

Yup! At work, we're constantly sending around large documents and presentations. On the personal side, my brother is a musician and he's often sending me stuff he's working on in MP3 format.
