Probably a good idea for designers and other people who wouldn't touch a shell script for this. Although that customer base might need a more hoity-toity name than "servus"… (bussibussi.io?)
Besides, I had the latin meaning of the word in mind, not the southern German one.
Love it. Time to convert those design agencies that are still struggling with FTP or sending huge PSDs through email.
I like the dropbox tool! Most design agency's rely on http://www.wetransfer.com It's free and found a way to show cool ads full screen. We're using our own wetransfer-channel.
You may show an example. Is that dropbox sharelink that difficult? I understand the brand name. You could make some sales while using nice and good looking screen shots. It creates a feel and then a sale. The example you have shown is boring honestly.
Of course. So here's an example shared via Dropbox' own Share Link feature: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wckaf7i7anhtq4v/this-screenshot-se... Here's the same picture shared via Servus. https://dl.dropbox.com/s/l2zxws95dpwrfsq/index.html The difference is that Dropbox' own page is not customizable at all, whereas Servus allows you to use your own theme for the preview pages.

This seems like a nice, useful little app. Congrats on shipping! One question though. Have you considered a free for ever version? I know a few people that would find this a bit useful but would never pay for it, at least not now. If you had a free version minus the templates (or any other extra features you add later) then they would use it for sure. And you keep your not free version for all the fancy stuff like te…
Anyhow, I agree with having a free version of some sort,e.g. less features. And it would be definitely awesome if this was the equivalent of CyberDuck but for file sharing, in the sense that plugs into dropbox, s3, whatever other file sharing system out there, hosted or self-hosted.
Good stuff.
You said you built this because as a freelancer you often needed to share files. What else would help you as a freelancer that you haven't built yet?
One question -- why didn't you use the App Store? Was your decision technical, financial or both? I really appreciate the convenience of the App Store, especially for updates.
Looks very nice. I don't know why I personally need it yet, but I think I'm going to buy it! One question -- why didn't you use the App Store? Was your decision technical, financial or both? I really appreciate the convenience of the App Store, especially for updates.
I've scribbled down my reasons for releasing outside the MAS here: http://blog.servus.io/post/37663343570/servus-1-1-grand-stor...
Regarding updating: Servus has a built-in auto-updater, so it's easy to keep it up to date.
