Box, Dropbox and Skydrive are all great cloud-based ways to share files. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, but the one commonality between these popular sites is the need to sign up for an account to share a file. This extra step wastes precious time, both for the person sharing the file, and the person receiving the file.
Go Pileus is a much faster way to share a file via the cloud—no account required.
To share a file, drag it from your desktop or file explorer to the space on the Go Pileus homepage labeled Drag and drop your file here and start sharing.
Your file uploads and you are provided with a gopile.us URL for the file.
Paste this URL into an email, instant message or on a social networking site to share with friends. The URL is only good for 30 minutes, making this great for sharing time-sensitive files, but not so great for sharing files with people who are not currently online. For this, you can sign up for a Go Pileus account by clicking the Sign Up link at the top right of the page.
Creating an account gives users access to 1 GB of storage space. Sharing a file this way works the same way: through dragging and dropping a file, only now the generated URL lasts as long as you want. Those with whom you share the file are not required to create an account.
Files are limited to 50 MB each, which is plenty of space for most files. While the 1 GB of free storage feels confining, the speed of the service makes up for this restriction. Go Pileus is worth bookmarking for times when fast file sharing is a necessity.
