Thanks for the feedback guys! We do have a mobile friendly version of the site on the list of things to do just haven't gotten around to it yet…
Gord, you're right about it being a competitive market (what isn't?) but I'd probably say that the likes of yousendit and wetransfer are more along our lines. I love and use dropbox on the daily basis but we're focusing on file delivery rather than cloud-sync. We see our market as being digital media types (photographers, video post prod, graphic designers, etc) who are relatively tech savvy but deal with non-tech savvy types (so FTP is a pain for all involved)... -- Dan Washusen Make big files fly visit digitalpigeon.com (http://digitalpigeon.com) On Monday, 17 October 2011 at 6:19 PM, gord wrote: > > Dan, > > Nice piece of work...
