QuickShareIt 2.0
QuickShareIt, which we covered a while back, has received an upgrade to 2.0, adding many of the originally promised features as well as a host of new ones.
QuickShareIt is a Mac app that provides online storage and file sharing with both Mac and PC users. It's growing up amongst a host of similar products, but differentiates itself by offering some unique features centered around the teaming of its dock icon drop-box, "recent uploads" floating panel and web-based file access. For example, if you drag multiple images onto the dock icon, it will ask you if you want to create a gallery. When the upload finishes (with Growl notifications), it will give you a url that you can share and provide options for handling that gallery in the floating panel. It also accepts text clippings and creates a line-numbered, online document for quick sharing of code samples or text snippets. Previews for other filetypes are available.
Right now uploading to QuickShareIt is anonymous and public access. The developers are rolling out registration options in the near future, as well as paid options with extra features. If you want to try QuickShareIt out, just download the application and run it. There's no configuration or sign-up necessary (despite the option being present), just drag files or text clippings onto the dock icon and watch it go.

@5cents: Likely. Leopard added a HUD option to Interface Builder that doesn't display in Tiger.

January 03 2008 at 5:57 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyMy "recent shares" window isn't the transparent HUD but a regular window. Is the HUD window a Leopard only thing?

I'm not sure if it just happened or not because I had only looked in Safari previously, but if you're in Firefox, the download link is right under the screenshot on the left side of the page.
Any advantages to .Mac's iDisk?

so use safari to get the downloadbutton or here: http://appmt.quickshareit.com/download
it quits very often. so its very unstable for me! sad.
When QSI unexpectedly quits, there's no way to resume? That's sucks!

January 03 2008 at 11:13 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyJust click on "Get QSI", install and drag something onto the dock icon. It'll upload it right away. No registration needed.

This is probably a dumb question, but where from? I can't find a link on the site, and registration is closed.
Ben -
There's a "Get QSI" link in the top right.
I just downloaded it for the first time and so far it seems like a very smooth experience. Cuts out some of the steps I'm used to going through with sites like dropload or yousendit.
It did crash once though. Hopefully no more.
Thanks Reuven, they hid it well!
