Post haste

Assuming you have signed in, download links can be sent directly by e-mail from within the app or you can send links from your usual e-mail or SMS client.

SendSpace

There's a desktop app - for Mac, Windows and Linux - too

Once a file has been uploaded, you can view it using the My Files menu, and easily forward more download links. Folders can only be created using a web browser, but once set up you can access and upload into them with the app.

You can create Zip archives within the app using the built-in file browser. If you want to send recorded media you can upload video, still and audio files directly from your phone’s camera and sound recorder.

RH Recommended Medal

If the restrictions of the Lite service start to cramp your style you can buy a faster Premium service or go Pro and get permanent storage space and extra monthly bandwidth up to 500GB and 1TB, respectively. Payment can be made monthly, and using PayPal, which is handy if you need the facility temporarily or in a hurry.

As for security, well your guess is as good as mine. Speaking personally, if I am worried about something getting pinched out of the Cloud, I don’t upload it in the first place. ®

After reading the title,

I was hoping this app would be something like a reverse version of Awesome Drop. Something where I can quickly set up a one time connection to whatever PC I'm using at the time and dump files straight across to it from my phone. Been looking for something like that for a long time.

Re: QR Code wrong

Wes, we admit it, it was the wrong QR. The reviewer has been taken out and shot, and a new QR image put in place.

Normal services has been, etc, etc.

Dropbox lets you share files too

If you put files in your Public folder you can:

a) Share individual files with anyone (basically file permissions are read-only, but directory listing is not allowed)

b) Share an entire folder with another Dropbox user

And it has 2GB available with its free account.

SugarSync?

isn't that more of sync application like Dropbox rather than a file-sender like SendSpace?

I bet they thought no-one ever actually used those things

I mean, as one of my colleagues once put it, all bar-codes look the same!
