Great that other smart people are trying to make sending files easier!

We at Dropdock ( http:/getdropdock.com/getstarted , check at the end for invite code ) are also working on this problem. We have developed a Cross platform application that send files to anyone, wether they are a dropdock user or online.

Dropdock also work flawlessly over LAN. Our client auto detect other dropdock users on the LAN so you can send them larges files with ease.

We have working on an Android & iOS app too so you can send all those photos and HD video to anyone in one big batch instead of uploading them to different services or sending multiples emails.

We don't want to replace file attachement. If you want to send a simple spreadsheet to someone, you should sent it through email with explanation and not upload it somewhere and C/C the links.

Finally, we though going the facebook route too, but it wasn't too user friendly since you can't auto detect other users base on their facebook account and it just didn't make sens for us to use Facebook messages for notifications.

We are currently in private Beta ( Alpha-ish ) but are about to release a big update with a lot of fixes and new features. If you want to try it out, signup at http://getdropdock.com/signup with the invite code DROPDOCKBETAP1.
