It’s a major pain when large files need to be shared between co-workers or friends, and there are only complicated, five or more step processes to do it. Now you can save your labor and sweat for the gym. A new online service has come to the rescue.
As the website advertises, this new service for sharing large files is “ridiculously easy.” All are invited to come “crate” and experience a painless, simple way of sharing large files.
This service comes in the nick of time since Drop.io, a frequently-used service for sharing, was bought out by Facebook in December 2010. Although the fate of Drop.io under the Facebook logo is unknown, Crating can definitely help you in the meantime or become a permanent substitute solution.
The process is quick and easy. First visit www.letscrate.com and sign on. Your screen will display a list of various crate choices. Select the crate that best fits your needs. Then upload your files and drag them in to the crate. You can pack in all the files you want up to the limit. So click and drag to your heart’s content.
There’ll be a short uploading period, and then the crate will be stored on a “cloud.” The site will offer you a personal unique URL to share with friends so they can access the file. You can either share individual files or the entire crate. It’s that simple.
There are different service levels offered. At the basic level, you don’t even have to have an account with the website. You will be limited to a 30 minute time period in which to upload and share your files though. Other options allow you an indefinite amount of time as well as more numbers of crates, so you may prefer to have an actual account.
