Online FTP or file sharing service [on hold]
- by Frede
We need to share large files with clients, e.g. clients upload a large file, we modify it and later make it available for download. Up until now we've used FTP but this has a number of drawbacks. A lot of management of files and setting up accounts etc.
We are therefore considering online alternatives.
Requirements:
Cheap, 8-)
Easy to use, ideally just requiring a web browser, but also possible for power users to connect e.g. via FTPS/SFTP
No registration requried for users to upload/download files. We ourselves of course need to be able to login an view uploaded files and upload new files.
No per user fee
High bandwidth. As files may be GBs in size both upload and download speed cannot be too slow
Secure. Encryption during upload/download. No way for users to access uploaded files. Once a user has uploaded a file they (or anyone else besides us) should be able to access the file. To download files users get a link with a password. Ideally the link expires after a set time.
No software installation
We do NOT need any sync features, backup, versioning etc. Just a quick, easy, secure way for us to share files with our clients. Services like JustCloud, DriveHQ etc seems bloated and "too much" for what we need.
What other alternatives exist?
Thanks!
