Less features that do more
Fileshifter has been used on real projects by a growing number of users since June 2006. The principle 'Less is more' guides development. New features are developed and tested in cooperation with users to make sure they are actually an improvement.
Unique features
The following feature can not be found in other applications. They are what make Fileshifter special.
Drag'n'drop uploads.
Uppladdning are handled in the most natural way imaginable. You simply drag a file and drop it onto the upload-area of the browser window. Of-course, you can drop multiple files simultaneously and have them all uploaded to the server. You can drop a folder and have it and all its content uploaded. The folder will automatically become a new project.
No maximum file-size.
The maximum size for each file is only limited by the servers configuration. The largest file tested was a 7 GB DVD-image. Uploading is fast aswell. A speed of 70 Mbit was noted when testing to a local server on a 100Mbit network. In real use, speeds depend greatly on the installation. Try the demo to get a feel for what a very basic server setup is capable of.
Unrivaled simplicity.
Ease of use is not a unique feature of Fileshifter. However it is such a stand out feature that it qualified for a place here. Other systems definitely have more advanced premissions, more features, better encryption and so on. That is just how we like it. Fileshifter has only a select few, well thought-out features. Everything is designed for maximum simplicity. You shouldn't have to be a computer genius just to send some files to a client.
