SendAlong Officially Released - send large files now!
February 24th, 2008
It’s been a long time in the works, but it finally happened - SendAlong has been officially released as of today!
Here’s what you can do with SendAlong right now:
- Sign up for a free or trial plan - choose the free plan if your requirements are small, or do a 15 day free trial of any of the other plans if you need a bit more horsepower
- Send large files to anyone with an email address - up to 100MB file size for free plans, and up to 500MB to 2GB (that’s big) for the paid plans
- Password protect your files - just type in a password so that only people that have the password can get the files
- Upload securely - SendAlong uses SSL to encrypt files as they’re uploaded and downloaded so that no eavesdroppers can steal your data
- How many people downloaded that? - page through the file history to see how many times each file was downloaded
- Did I mention the 15 day free trial (no strings attached, period)??
So head on over and sign up for a free account to give it a try!
Looking Back…
I thought it would be fun to see what SendAlong looked like in its early days. What follows are a few pictures of what SendAlong used to look like.
Here’s a shot from the very first running version:

Here’s a much more recent shot. Notice all of the fancy shadows and gradients that have since been removed to speed up the site:

That’s all for now - I’ve got a lot of work ahead - there’s quite a large list of features that people have been asking for - including things like file sharing (not just sending!). Subscribe to the blog if you want to keep hearing more.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again - go try it out!

(got here via Gavin’s Micro ISV Digest) Not a bad site and product design except I’m amazed you did not figure out a way to have a short hyperlinks to avoid word wrap in the e-mails, like youtube etc do. i.e. like http://sendalong.com/b456de37

You know what Ben, you’re completely right. To be honest, I hadn’t thought about that in a loooong time. Thanks for bringing it up! I’ll put in a feature request for it - it should get implemented soon.
Thanks for the feedback!

[…] SendAlong’s release apparently hit the blogosphere today, as was obvious by the amount of traffic coming into the site throughout the day. I want to take a moment to point out some of the posts on SendAlong and also thank each poster for taking the time to review the site. […]
