Ok thanks for the explanations. Yes in some cases this seems like simpler than Google Drive etc. — I'm wondering though, if that's enough to make people want to try this. I've never sent a file larger than what I can already do via Dropbox etc.
Maybe people who send 10 - 20 GB files typically already have Google Drive accounts or something like that? .... They're not "normal" people. I've been developing software for 10+ years and never had the need to send that large files.
I agree about encryption, I would probably encrypt something also before uploading to Google. (In fact I do, already, any important stuff of mine.)
Book tips: http://www.startupwerkboek.nl/startupcenter/Momtest.pdf http://www.startupwerkboek.nl/startupcenter/Momtest.pdf — it's about how to find out if a service like Seven Words is needed, without writing any code. The i.m.o. "most important" part is free: the first few chapters.
Best wishes anyway.
- aparks517 9y agoThanks for the additional feedback. I agree that folks who commonly send large files probably already have found a good solution for it. There are a variety out there. In my own case, I sometimes send large files but at least as often ask someone else to send /me/ a large file, typically someone who doesn't often send large files. That turns into a phone call in which I explain to them how they can sign up for a service to send me the file. Sometimes the file ends up coming on a USB stick. Seeing that Randall Munroe had even made fun of my struggle was the last straw and I decided to build something :) Thanks for the link. It was a delightful read.
