Same story with my former employer, a large (old) media conglomerate. In order to solve the problem I set up a small file hosting script for our department because the only option for sending large-files offered by the internal IT department was through FTP accounts - and people were way to lazy setting them up accounts, remembering passwords, or explain others how to use FTPs. I am quite sure those file sharing services were/are popular especially among smaller media/tv/audio production companies.
- rdtsc 15y agoWonder if there is a market for a MU type application to be sold to these companies, it can be run internally. User uploads files to it and then reference them in email. An expiry can be setup and/or an access code. Nobody from outside could see the file. Have to be on the company VPN to access.
- earl 15y agoIsn't that windows sharepoint? And I think it is a huge business. See also yammer (that's probably where they're going, no?), box.net, and atlassian's products (jira, wiki, etc).
- rdtsc 15y agoAlright, that figures. I am just out of touch with that product area.
- johncoltrane 15y agoThere are many, many, many such products. My (large) employer standardized on one called Envoy last year after having used many concurrent solutions. It sucks big time so lots of people use Mediafire, Yousendit or Megaupload instead.
