Nevermind...it redirects to sendoid now, guess it's the same thing.

Sendoid is iSendr.

#84Missing from the article (and the linked summary of other sites that do this) is letscrate.com, which does it so well that I'm not even interested in looking at sendoid. It's dead easy, and my clients understand and remember the name after I say it once.
Thanks for the mention! A lazy link because I'll never miss a chance to shameless plug: http://letscrate.com/ Excited to check out Sendoid though.

There's a limit in file size for the "free" plan (50mb?). What makes Crate a better alternative to Sendoid?

#86Can you merge the ideas of sendoid desktop client with a pinch of dropbox, so we can sync folders with other computers, other people's computers (multiple folders, multiple computers) without a central server? i.e. sendoid, but semipermanent links and folders instead of files.
This is actually an extension to the idea we've considered. We are implementing mesh transferring (similar to bit-torrent) and the idea was to have a server act as a peer in the mesh. We are still trying to decide if its something enough people want.

#87From the FAQ: "Files never touch or pass through our servers." Peer-to-peer transfer has some speed benefits, but completely avoiding a server-based fallback seems more problematic. The sender needs to be online when the recipients are downloading the file. People increasingly use laptops/tablets that spend much of their life sleeping (as opposed to always-on desktops). Am I missing something?
Nope, you're just describing two different use cases (real time transfer vs. delayed transfer). Currently you can use the installable app and files will resume/restart whenever either disconnected machine comes back online to combat the often-sleeping laptops you reference.
The thing about persistence via storage is that now you're talking cloud storage, and that's a pretty overloaded and over-served market with a race to the bottom on price. We're fanatic about speed and privacy so we're p2p only right now and we really love the potential for this tech. Ideally, we'll make the persistence issue irrelevant rather than falling back to what we consider outdated tech...

Really like both Sendoid and LetsCrate - good work guys. Just to shamelessly plug another link - a project that i've been working on (for the past 6 months) aimed at super simple file sharing : http://www.filepigeon.com - hope you don't mind the plug - thought it was related and it's something I've been working on for a while !

This is a total deal breaker for me. This is something that needs to work for all files in order to be useful, and I'm not willing to get tied into a monthly subscription for something so occasional and basic. This is the kind of thing that people used to charge $5-20 one time for as shareware, not $9/mo.

Not very useful as only 50MB is too close to what one can send via Gmail. Anything larger than that I've been using http://www.streamfile.com (150MB, which beats all of you. And it was created by an HN'er before it sold, I think).
I just miss my drop.io.
