Introducing SharURL

June 28th, 2009

It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally ready.  I’m so happy to finally announce my latest project — SharURL (pronounced SHAIR-uhl — like a woman’s name).

SharURL is a convenient way to share files with friends and family. You simply open your web browser to sharurl.com, click the big blue button, and select files from your computer.  Then you watch as your files are uploaded, packed into a zip file, and a short, unique URL is created for you to share.

We are currently in the Invite-only Beta phase.  Invite-only implying you will need to know someone with an invite code to be able to signup; and beta implying that we are constantly working to improve the system and there may be a few hiccups along the way.  The following features will be coming soon:

  1. Reset account password
  2. Update account profile
  3. Direct file linking
  4. Screencast
  5. Password protection
  6. Simpler, cleaner design
  7. Storage space / monthly file transfer upgrades
  8. An API for developers

All feedback is most welcome.  You can vote for the new features listed above and suggest new ones at http://sharurl.uservoice.com/.
