QuickShareIt: Click, drag, share!

Posted by Zachary N on 03/20/07 in Applications, Fun & Unique, Internet, Web

QuickShareIt is probably the simplest, yet most useful, of file sharing apps I have seen. Sharing a file with the program is as easy as dragging the soon-to-be-shared file to the QuickShareIt icon. Keeping the application open at all times allows for easy access to the file host at all times! Although QuickShareIt is still in the beta stages, I cannot point out any flaws nor find anywhere to suggest improvement.

Start sharing in 3 easy steps…

Download the QuickShareIt application from this link and drag the file to your Applications folder.
Open the QuickShareIt application.
Drag any file you want to share to the QuickShareIt icon in the dock. Drag multiple files at once and it will automatically place them in a ZIP file for you!

The official feature list includes:

Send Files to Anyone (It doesn’t matter if they use QuickShareIt or not, PC, Mac or Linux, if they can browse websites, they can download your file.)
Easily Upload Any Type of File
Quicker and More Convienent than ImageShack, YouSendIt or anything else!
Unlimited Bandwidth (Serve it to the world!)
Drag & Drop 1 File or 100 Files (Multiple files or folders automatically get zipped before they’re uploaded)
Get the URL to your file FAST! (QuickShareIt automatically copies the URL to your clipboard)
Growl Support
Dock Badge Status Notifications
Upload up to 100MB files
And best of all, It’s Free!

QuickShareIt manages to pack the features of a more advanced filehost, into a small easy to use package. Grab QuickShareIt here.

Sounds like an interesting app. Has anyone tried it? Please post your experiences.

It’s a nice, simple app, and it does it’s job just fine. I found that it didn’t automatically close after uploading, but that I don’t mind. Looking at the website I’d say they should be reliable enough for temperary hosting, but I wouldn’t use their service to host an image long term, or to host one that gets on Digg. The fact that they have no plans for earning revenue, and that they reserve the right to limit the downloads of a file if it reaches the unspecified amount of downloads is what leads me to that. And as for the actual speed of uploading, dragging a file to the dock and waiting for it to upload takes about the same time as popping over to filehive.com and using their online upload form for me. However, the whole “I’ll automagicly zip your files” thing is definatly a time saving feature.
