clean interface. obvious next question... what's the file size limit? any other distinguishing features from dropbox/yousendit/(gmail?)/etc?

thank you! our current maximum supported limit is 2 GB for files. we don't charge for this service, we don't require registration, and we don't store your files on the server... we just stream them

Cool concept, clean interface but extremely buggy. Uploaded 3 images under 1mb and upload was broken. (I assume this as it went from 2%, 5%, 10%, 14%, 16% to download link). Downloading the attachments gives me a corrupted picture with only part of the photo showing.(another reason for the assumption that the uploading was broken). I don't like the fact that I couldn't copy and paste the link the normal way. Selecting the download link forces me to drag that link (While it's a neat feature to have, the original should be available as well.) Other than that, it's pretty awesome and I can't wait to use it!

Thank you for trying it out! First, we haven't experienced such problems before so thank you for pointing it out... we'll start looking into it. Would you mind posting on the JustBeamIt Google Group outlining your problem (steps to reproduce)? http://groups.google.com/group/beamit?hl=en

Second, the download link is automatically highlighted when you hover over, so you can just press Ctrl+C (or Cmd+C) to copy it. You do not need to drag it :)
