I did. But that only solved half of it. My methods for putting the file in a place where someone could download it via HTTP were clunky. I've got a web server. Or I could host one locally. But it's all just so cumbersome and unwieldy for what should be a simple task. Take a file. Push it from Point A to Point B. But I'm technically competent enough to set up all that stuff and wrangle with it. Someone else who just wants to share some files, maybe not so much. Realistically? I'm serving them via HTTP now when I use my Public folder. But the process for getting the file to the person I want to share it with has been grossly simplified. Just because I am technically competent enough to go through a detailed process to share a file doesn't mean it's a good User Experience. I enjoy working on and maintaining this stuff, but it can still be frustrating. Dropbox makes it painless. Almost effortless.
