Thanks for the feedback! (Minbox developer here)
> 1. How about transparent GZIP-ing files.
This is an interesting idea! We've been mostly focused on receiving zipped files and extracting their contents, but I could see a "auto-zip" feature at some point.
> 2. Is there a way for end-to-end encryption
We use SSL on all uploaded data, enforce SSL-only on our download links and gallery pages. That said, this is email we're talking about, so if you're truly worried about encryption, this might not be what you're looking for.
> 3. How does the mail get sent?
Depends. You can hook up your Gmail account (using OAuth2) and we can send via your SMTP server. Or if you prefer, we can send the email from our own SMTP servers on behalf of you.
> Do I need to hand out my SMTP login data?
No. You can use Gmail OAuth, or you can just sign up for a regular account (no SMTP credentials required)
> 4. How do you make money? Please clarify on your page that this is not one of those "we sell your data" schemes.
Our plan is to introduce a premium option with additional features, and no time limit on the files we store. Files in free accounts are removed after 30 days. This is all laid out on our homepage: http://minbox.com/#pro http://minbox.com/#pro
