Subtle Rantings

Often times I’ve found the need to send someone a file that is much larger than would be considered acceptable to send via email (ie. greater than 5 or 6 megabytes). Personally, I am fortunate enough to have some tech savvy and a place where I can upload all the files I want. Most importantly the latter of the two in case you were wondering.

This is however not always the case for the average non-geek computer user. Which is where senduit.com comes in. Senduit.com is a site where you can upload any file, up to 100 mb, and they will store it on their servers for up to 1 week. It’s a very simple, easy to use interface that anyone would be able to use.

Once your file is uploaded, you are given a link similar to this one:

http://senduit.com/7827ed

This link in particular was a file I uploaded and gave it an hour expiration time. I like the fact they give you a small, easy to handle URL, that also doesn’t expose exactly what the file is. I like this for any prying eye’s that may be reading over your shoulder, reading your email, or spying on you in some other manner.

While senduit.com does not claim to be a secure, encrypted file sharing site, it does address security and privacy concerns in their Privacy Policy. In their Privacy Policy they claim to not save, review, or analyze the file name, contents, type or even origin (IP address). They throw in the standard 21st century disclaimer that while they attempt to maintain perfect security, they cannot guarantee it, so it would be best to not share sensitive data using their service. Duh!

All in all, as I stated earlier, I’ve never really had the need for a file sharing service like this, but I like it. It’s perfect for that short term sharing of files. Plus there’s no clean up of storage space to worry about. I think I’ll be bookmarking this one and using it from time to time.
