Binfire.com is better than rapidshare.com

The new binfire.com free share feature "Click to Share now" lets users share files as big as 100MB with family and friends. No registration or login is needed. When the file is received by friends, there are no annoying delays or sale features present, as found in rapidshare.com or other services. The sender can share the same file with multiple friends by typing multiple emails comma separated.

More features are added to http://www.binfire.com/ every day. All services provided by binfire.com are free.

Binfire.com new look

I have seen and read Guy Kawasaki 's videos and blogs on good user interface and website recommendations . I think he is right on the money. The new binfire.com look and feel follows a lot of his recommendation.
I hope the new website is up and running in a few weeks.

BInfire.com New UI

Binfire.com is undergoing a massive change. The UI is totally changed and enhanced. New functionality is added to the site. Now the user will be able to navigate from feature to feature with ease. A new user can share files, video and songs before he registers. The file size is limited to 10 MBytes. Once the user registers there is no file size limit for sharing files. The web storage size is expanded to 25 GBytes (It may be upgraded to unlimited size in near future). The user can use his address book to share files with family and friends.

The group collaboration tools are enhanced. Now anytime a file is uploaded, modified or deleted the group members are notified by internal messaging and external email. The new features will become available in a few weeks. I have copied the new look here.

binfire.com unique features (2)

One of binfire.com strongest and most unique feature is that it gives each registered user two online folders. The first folder is called “private” and could only be accessed by the user (you). All files in this folder are protected and can’t be seen by anybody else. The second folder is called “shared” and this is the folder that the user gives his friend access. The user will send a link to her /his friends. When friends click on this link they enter the user’s home page and have access to his shared folder in addition to other tools the binfire.com user would like to share with them. These include the user’s links, market place and file transfer. All other menu items are disabled.The user’s friends can download or upload files to the user’s shared folder. One feature not implemented yet is the notification. When a file is added, deleted, downloaded or uploaded the user can get an internal message to let him know what events (actions) have occurred in his shared folder.Another very useful feature of binfire.com is that when a number of users become friends in the binfire.com they all have access to each other shared folder through the java applet. To see this invite people you know to become your friend in binfire.com. You can do this by going to friends’ page and invite people you know to add you as their friend. When they accept, you will have access to their shared folder and they have access to your share folder. This way you and your friends could always have access to each other shared folders. Another benefit of this feature is that you can send files from your web folder to your friends web folders at speed of 100 M Bytes per second, and you will not use your own bandwidth to do this.David
