However drop canvas looks more user friendly for the non technical! Good find.

That’s it. They get notification, click on it and open the file within Drive. Their choice to download. Or not.

I have some text files that need to accompany site pictures, and I need to get those to colleagues at the office (6,000 km away) so they can add their information. I was thinking of using a file sharing service, but this sounds better as I won’t need to resend a file every time I update…or they send me the latest version every time they put in something.

Travc, haven’t tried “google drive” yet.

If you want to share a five gigabyte 3D model, that’s fine, but network latency means it will take hours to propagate in the cloud, whereas a 30,000 word short story can be shared in a seconds.

I do wish I knew of a service that gave a shared ‘whiteboard’ like the old SGI videoconferencing demo app. You could draw or type on it of course, but you could also drag-and-drop images and even 3D models (it was SGI after all) onto it. Such a thing probably exists, but I haven’t found it. Should be built into Skype and such.
