"Ever needed to send hundreds of pictures to a friend? With Plug, we invented a technology to transfer files instantly. No matter their size, no matter their number. That’s also part of our job to simplify storage."
How exactly are they planning to make that a reality?
Say I've been out filming with my GoPro and my friend wants the clips, or I've taken some photographs with a DSLR (which are at least >5MB in size per picture).
It can't be instant.
- a3_nm 13y agoI suspect that by "transferring" the files they mean "transferring a token allowing the recipient to access the files from your plug". From there, under their (debatable) underlying assumption that accessing files from a plug from your device is fast, it's as if the data has been transferred: recipient can view the files on their device, except they're being fetched from your plug (and maybe copied to their own plug in the background). (Caution, this is just speculation.)

- flexd 13y agoThat was what I was thinking too, but it all depends on everyone having high-speed internet. Which will happen in the future, but at the moment there are lots of people with <5Mbit connections, and preferably to be able to access your files like they claim you with images and other medias you will need something like a 100Mbit or better connection anywhere you go. How widespread is 4G connectivity in the world?
