This Google Drive rival wants you to upload your files and just forget about it
Cloud storage firm Dropbox is revamping the way users share files. The Google Drive and Apple iCloud rival is now making file sharing process easier than before by introducing a new feature called Dropbox Transfer. This has been in under tests since earlier this year and is now being rolled out to all the users. The firm states that while majority use Dropbox for collaborative sharing, Dropbox Transfer aims to bring the ‘send-it-and-forget-it’ solution to the forefront.
“Transfer is designed for times when you need to turn over large collections of final files to clients and other people outside your company,” states the blog post. The firm adds that ‘Transfer’ lets users send 100GB files ‘in just a few clicks’. They would have to simply select the files from the hard drive or Dropbox account to initiate the transfer. It is also possible to set an expiration date of files, password protect them or simply share the link with others if they are no on Dropbox. Once shared, the viewership stats will let you see how many times the file has been accessed.
