Dropbox is a great ‘social’ way to share large files over the cloud. But Dropbox is not entirely in the cloud. There is a small application that sits on your desktop and if allowed will start with your system.
Personally, I hate installing a new piece of software for a one-time swap or just because the swarm is using it. I guess there are people (some in my family too) who feel the same way about Dropbox. For instance, my brother is on a low bandwidth connection and he doesn’t see the benefit of using Dropbox for large file uploads right now.
FileStork looks like a solution for him. FileStork allows me to ask my brother to send me files without him asking to install Dropbox. He doesn’t need to share a folder on his system. Even if you end up with Dropbox, the process of using FileStork is simple.
1. Connect to your Dropbox account via FileStork and allow the app to access your Dropbox account.
2. Create a request for the intended recipient. This request is one-time and automatically expires after each recipient uploads their file. You can also create a password-protected Standalone request for ongoing exchange over a longer period of time. This does not expire.
3. You can define parameters such as the name of the folder containing the uploaded file; allowed file types; and a warning message when the file arrives. Exchanges can also be password protected for an extra layer of security.
Your request is sent to the recipient as an email. He can follow the link and access FileStork to send the requested file without any hassle like registration.
FileStork allows recipients to send files up to 75 MB in size. It definitely beats the email size limit with the added feature of sending normally blocked EXE and Script files.
Will you allow FileStork to carry some files on the web?
