On more than one occasion I've been tasked with creating a way for clients to upload and share files to members of a team. I typically create a resource site and FTP all my files up. The problem is that as the project grows, I have to constantly go back and upload and add more links. I've automated a few solutions in past months, but I really like how Adobe SHARE beta is looking. And at the moment, it's FREE :)



Above is the result of the embed code provided when you share a file with the Adobe SHARE beta. Just giving it a little test to see how well it works. You can also link directly to the file.

This service offers some good possibilities for collaborative work and getting files to clients. No more email attachments. You can track file activity. I haven't had a chance to test the limits of it yet, but since you can zip up files, it offers quite a lot of possibilities. The beta offers 1024MB of storage space. Not bad at all. You can delete files once they have been received. One of the really neat features is the image preview, so you can see what you're downloading before you download it.

You need to have an Adobe ID to participate in the beta. It's free to sign-up.
