It strikes me as even more work to send an email than to move/copy a file into the synced folder on my desktop. I'd also have to remember to check my file's size before attempting to email it since emailitin caps files at 5MB.
Is there a confirmation or error email followup?
- baudehlo 13y agoIf you're at your desktop, absolutely it's easier to use your synced folder. But what if you're on someone else's computer? Or on mobile? Or just have an email someone sent you. If you go over the size limit you will get a bounce message. I'm not absolutely set on 5MB being the free limit - I'm interested in seeing how well that works, and how many people it converts to paid customers (if any) - I still have to pay for hosting, so it would be nice to get some level of conversion, and $3 a month is cheap enough that it's not a big barrier for most people.
- portmanteaufu 13y agoI use Google Drive, so I can only speak to that. If I'm logged into my email on another person's computer then I'm already logged into drive. Similarly, for me having a file in my inbox is effectively the same as having it in Google Drive. I can access it from any device. I guess I'm outside your target audience. I wish you the best of luck.
- greyman 13y agoI sometimes use it when I've got that file as an attachment from someone..I just forward it and it lands there...or, more precisely I used that before on Dropbox. Now I use skydrive so I might as well try this service.
- pbreit 13y agoI suspect it's mainly used when you are reading your email and want to save a file attachment to your DropBox.
