If you are an internet fan, it is very possible that you know about online file sharing service.
Processing large original files like .PSD (Photoshop) and .AI (Illustrator) is becoming a very simple task for today's technology and machines(whether it is PC or Mac). But sharing part aren't. We generally use two ways to share the files with peers or clients: e-mailing and hosting-account. But e-mailing cannot upload anything more than 100Mb, and hosting-account can be easily exposed. Today's online file sharing services solved the above two shortcomings. With the development of modern information society, more and more online file sharing alternatives appear. In this post, I will introduce you one of them: Streamfile.
Based in Stockholm, the features of Streamfile are better looking, easier to use and the fastest way to deliver data wherever you are in the world.
From their website, we can get the following data:
Max filesize: 300Mb Registration: No Premium account: Yes Password Protection: No
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is used by Streamfile which means you don't have to worry about the security of sharing file. In fact, online banks are using SSL as transmitting credit card details. Streamfile also offers the ability to store your files encrypted before they are uploaded, adding an additional layer of security. Streamfile provides you with an extensive audit trail. With their File Center you can check who has downloaded your files and when. You can also set a file expiration date or archive any files to never expire with AWS Glacier.
Streamfile provides three plans: Basic, Pro and Business. The last two are not free. But if you are not satisfied with your purchase, they can give you 100% refund within 30 days payment. Don't you think that it is an amazing policy?
For students, I think the basic plan is enough. It is free an has the below features:
- 300Mb file-size limit
- 1 day expiry on all uploads
- Basic file tracking
- 128 bit File encryption
- 1GB Monthly Bandwidth

Hi Li,
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting post. I had never heard of Streamfile since I attended San Jose State University, so thank you for teaching me that. It is great to hear about how Streamfile has its highest level of simplicity for sending large files to non-tech savvy individuals. I like the added features of the Basic Streamfile plan in bullet points because I definitely want to know what they are and why are they important. Most of all, I never realized that you could make a premium account with no password protection.
There are few suggestions that I recommend into your post. One is to check for grammar/sentence structure errors so that the flow is complete. Another is that in-text reference would have helped me to know which parts were researched and added to your blog.
All in all, nice work on your blog post. Keep blogging!
Hello, Li. Wow. I did not know about it. This is very informative. Streamfile is what I really needed and sounds easy to use. Sometime, I need this program to share pictures with my friends who traveled together. If this program is not misused like release virus or something hacking, It is very useful. Thank you for letting me know this program. I will use this program from now on. overall, good work and informative!
ReplyDeleteI think yours is the first blog tonight that I've actually learned something from. Streamfile sounds really useful -- 300Mb is a pretty substantial file size, and encryption is really nice. The only thing that would get me about the basic plan is the 24 hour expiry; if friends took more than a day to get around to downloading it, I'd have to re-upload a 300Mb file. That would be really annoying...
