File Convoy – Free Large Files Exchange Service

In line with modern software development, the HDD size in the home computers is steadily increasing. It is also understandable that the size of the individual files, you might need to transfer remotely, is growing up. While there are many free services on the market, offering you assistance in transferring and sharing large files, there are always size limitations. Most large file transfer websites allow you to send 100 to 300 MB max for free. Few offer support for free sharing of the files up to 2 GB in size.

Today, we are going to present File Convoy, free online service, allowing sharing large files up to 2 GB each with no need to register or download software on your computer through your browser. The following browsers are supported:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 and above
• Gecko-based browsers like Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, SeaMonkey, Epiphany, Galeon and Netscape version 7.1 and above
• Browsers implementing the KHTML API version 3.2 and above, including Konqueror version 3.2 and above, and Apple Safari version 1.2 and above
• Opera browsers version 8.0 and above, including Opera Mobile Browser version 8.0 and above

The service is pretty simple to use. Select your files and click on the button "Upload". When the upload is finished, URL links will be displayed. These links will be use by the recipients to retrieve the files you sent. Copy them and send them to the recipients.

Optionally, you can use the e-mail notifications. In this case, the recipients will be notified by e-mail that you sent them some files. This e-mail will include the links required to retrieve them. You will receive e-mails to confirm your upload and the fact that the recipients have downloaded the files.

You can also setup the time limit, the data should be stored on the server – from 2 hours up to 7 days.

Züm – regret-free video walkie-talkie for iPhone

Divide Nine, a Los Angeles based entertainment technology studio, released the first no-regrets social video messaging application for iPhone and iPad – Züm. This free utility allows users to send an unlimited amount of short video messages to their friends with one very important feature, worth to mention and highlight – the video message immediately self-destructs after being viewed.

Functioning much like a video walkie-talkie, yet leaving no trace, Züm gives users the freedom to send quick “züms” back and forth without leaving a trail. This new technology opens doors to a more casual and guilt-free form of video communication. The fast, simple, five-second videos connect friends in real-time in an addictive game-like way.

You want to amaze your friends, but you do not want them having ability to misuse the video you send them – use Züm. You want to show off, but do not want to regret later - use Züm. You want to have more fun - use Züm. It is free, even thou developers hint that it is temporary free. So what? Who knows how long the temporary term will last – maybe, forever?
