Sendoid: Finally, Easy File Sharing
By danseitz
Let’s face it: file sharing is awesome, but it can be a colossal pain in just about any body part you can think of and then some. Broken links, lengthy download and upload times, a total lack of privacy, crapware cluttering your computer…it’s aggravating, infuriating, and sometimes makes you wish you could just fire USB drives at your friend’s house.
Sendoid feels your pain, and is attempting to fix the problems inherent in file-sharing. And, even better, it works.
Sendoid is browser based: you go to sendoid.com, choose a file, and it spits out a link. Send your friend the link, and it opens a P2P link between the two computers, complete with advanced encryption. The link stays up as long as you leave the window open.
Even better, you can download a desktop application and use that instead, so you don’t have to leave half a dozen browser windows open to get all the study materials to your friend, or all those perfectly legal MP3s to your parents. Yes, you read that correctly: there are no size limits.
There are still problems, of course: Sendoid is still working out some of the kinks. But we’ve finally been freed of size limits, and can share our files quickly, easily, and without crapware. Freedom is sweet.
