No file size limitations. :)

I don't really see where I'm gonna use it but I'd still sign up :p

Yea I'm the same, I have random GB accounts all over the place, but I`m sure one day they`ll all come in handy

I was trying to find the referral link, it says get more space by inviting friends, we could all add our link to our reply and next member uses previous link etc, would work out well for everyone but I cant find it

I won;t sign up till I can help someone by clicking a referral link

I found it, its at the bottom of your home page once you sign up, you have to invite them via email :)

1GB per referral, 10GB max

No file size limitations. :)

Thanks, I got your referral, next poster PM email to next in line :)

Yep thanks, I also signed myself up again with another email address and got another 1GB :)

Yep, they haven't put in a comprehensive referrel system like dropbox does. There is no benefit to the person who uses the referral because they don't get the free 1 gig, only the person who sends it. Use meltmail.com if you need extra temp addresses to max out.

Yeah I have 25gb on Skydrive don't need this at the moment but I will still sign up!

:D lol, I think I have 50GB on BOX, 25GB on SD, 12GB on this, and a few other box and skydrive accounts with a few more GB

EDIT - Oh yea, and another 50GB on adrive.com

I used to use Box, are they still good?

I tried to upload 2GB file, got this: Please upload files less than 200 MB. For me it's useless service if they are limiting size of a single file. Yes, i could split the file in parts, but no thanks, not worth.

Desktop sync is good but the file limitation is the downside (if you're just a free user :p )

Damn, FAQ says there are no file limitations. Is that through the browser or the sync app?

I've just dragged a 3.3GB windows 8 ISO into the idrivesync software and it is uploading it fine

Through the browser, i hate having to install any additional addons or software just to get the functionality which can be provided by a browser.

I am attached to Charter's Cloud Drive service as a customer. They keep switching from 10TB limit to unlimited space allowances. Still haven't found a reason to use it because I am too paranoid about my data. I figured I had a solution to this - send encrpyted files up to the cloud drive! So as a test, I tried to encrypt some files (Family Photos), as a test. Ended up with a 23gb file. Got kicked back for too large of a file to upload.

So, there are some reasons to have a file upload size limitation requirement for some services. If I knew there was a limitation, I wouldn't have spent the time pushing files into the Encrypted container (Trucrpyt).

How can one truly be sure your data you send up to these 'cloud services' will not be 'accidentally erased' some day in a server glitch or some mishap that they come up with? Or, what about a rogue employee that is bent on getting fired, decides to snoop around in your files?

    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
