“The cloud-storage space is focused on ‘backup’ and ‘sync’, but a large component is neglected… that’s ‘send’,” says Mimran, whose background is in product and design, where speed of sending files is acutely important. I think I might have to pay it so the option to share isn’t grayed out, like below.
30IN TO MINBOX HOW TO
While YouSendIt does have a Mac app that ostensibly makes file sharing from your desktop easier, I’ve yet to figure out how to send a file from the app. “We use multi-thread file uploading, we compress files, and a host of other things.”Īlthough Mimran has no data for YouSendIt, Minbox is by default faster from this user’s perspective - YouSendIt basically forces you to log in to the web version to send something, makes you copy/paste your recipient’s contact information and, if you want to send a file larger than 50MB, you’ll have to plunk down $9.99 per month. “Our main speed difference is that we upload direct to S3 from the client,” says Mimran. According to Minbox founder Alexander Mimran, the service is twice as fast as Dropbox for uploading and sharing files (you don’t have to wait for the file to upload to send).
The app allows Mac users to send files directly from their desktops - either through attaching the files or through a very simple drag-and-drop feature through the Minbox icon in the top-right corner.Īs you can probably tell from the demo video above, Minbox hopes to gain traction in the file-sharing space through being faster and more nimble than competitors. Mac app Minbox launches to the public today, attempting to differentiate itself from competitors through speed and ease of use.
