Minbox: when Dropbox - it is too slow

The market is full of cloud services. Technology, the fashion for which began several years ago, has already developed enough to be largely free and accessible to a wide range of users. During this time, a few designated leaders. We appreciate Dropbox for versatility and multi-platform support for many third-party applications. OneDrive - for a considerable amount of the proposed store. BUT google Drive - for closer integration into a vast ecosystem of companies. However, when you need to quickly share large files with your friends or colleagues, none of the options can not cope with this task better than Minbox.

Usually large cloud services suffer increased load on the server, or the lack of space restrictions on loading large files. On assurances Minbox developers, all these problems will remain in the past, because the service will actually necessary to quickly share the file, regardless of its size and type.

It is as the developers say, or is it just marketing?

No, the application is really fast. When you try to upload a file size of 5 GB Minbox willingly I received him and loaded at the highest possible speed for my network.

And it is only in speed?

No, this nice little things do not end there. The application is able to automatically save a screenshot, upload to a server and generate a link to them. It is necessary to take a snapshot of your screen? Yes, you can always use the standard QuickTime application, but to accomplish this task in two clicks much more convenient. Press, select which part of the wish to capture, and all the rest of the application will make itself. Minbox download the file to the cloud and keep a reference to it in the clipboard, and then you will be able to share it with anyone.

Notification e-mail - another feature of the service. Your file is downloaded or watched? Completed its load on the server? The validity of the file in the cloud expires? Notification to this effect has already come to you in the mail. Given that Mac users are almost a priori use e-mail-client, messages quite well replace the standard notice.

Well, now Dropbox is not needed?

No, in fact we have obtained two very different use of the concept. Backup reinsurance data in case of loss, long-term storage of photos from another trip to Turkey using Dropbox, SkyDrive, Google Drive, or any other alternative that will have you on soul. And if you want to quickly share with someone a file and then forget about it, leaving stored in the bowels of your computer, - Minbox will be the best choice.

A cons generally have?

Among the disadvantages, which the utility quite a bit - short-term storage of uploaded files. Moreover, the larger the data, the less time they are available on the link above. For example, the above file to the 5 GB would remain in the cloud just for 3 days.

In fact, for the average user this should be enough, but the rest can take advantage of premium-account services, and extend the life of their data. Another drawback: while that may use the service or those who are willing to keep an open web version, or owners of Mac computers. The app is only as an icon on the taskbar, and you can download the file using a simple drag and drop.

Pro-version. What does it offer?

If you have the extra $ 19 per month, Minbox offers to take advantage of premium-account.

Among the advantages: unlimited cloud storage; password protection of files; data encryption for greater security; deferred delivery links to destinations files; change the time period after which the downloaded data is automatically deleted; as well as ample opportunities for customization.

We're going to bring the branding to a whole new level. With Minbox you can use your own format produced links, and even change the domain itself. Personal page can decorate your company's logo and avatar, and the background and display the buttons on the page are easily adjusted to personal choice.

Eventually:

We have before us one of the best, if not the best, a cloud service for instant file sharing. High download speed, there are no restrictions on the size of data and gratuity undoubtedly play into the hands Minbox. A flaw in the form of a small shelf life and can be easy, given the fact that often the file, which we share, forget the next day.
