Also, we are aware certain rare network configurations break things. Network technology is a finicky beast. In particular, symmetric NAT seems to wreck the setup for the direct connection. Definitely working on solutions for getting around these problems (I've got a couple ideas I'm hoping will work). If anyone hits connection issues I'd love details on your network/OS/browser so I can document things more completely and try to get solutions out there. You can harass us directly at feedback (atsign) sendoid.com.

#22Very nice! I wonder what your revenue model is going to be, if it's OK to ask that early in the game?

#23Nice work. Met you guys before your YC interview. Congrats on the launch!

#24Neat technology, but I'm a bit worried about having to leave the browser window open before/during the transfer. I accidentally close tabs all the time, I wouldn't want to do that in the middle of a long transfer.
I'm going to give the service a shot for a few weeks though, maybe that will turn out to be a non-issue in practice.

Thats what the helper app is for! Sits outside the browser and lets you send and receive using the same technology without having to worry about the browser thing. Will do resume and everything. Still just as easy to use too.

#26Interesting concept never thought to do it via a website.
I don't know if its me or not, however when I click the "Choose files to share" in Chrome 10.0.648.151 on Win 7 it does not do anything.
Good work, going to try the desktop client :)

We appreciate your not repeating all the embarrassing things I might have said that evening. ;)

#28Awesome service!
One major request: Please create an API.
So many startups/services need a good way to upload large files efficiently. It takes a lot of effort to create an file upload feature that works and provides a good UX across browsers/platforms. We would use it for Mugasha (artists upload large audi files) and would pay for it.

Can you shoot us an email at feedback(at)sendoid.com with some info on your setup? Would love to get some more info from you so we can figure out what the problem might be. Thanks!

You have no idea how badly I want to do this. Trying to figure out how to make it work is definitely on the list.
