DNOBEL  I have been using FileChute for over three years to automate uploading files to my MobileMe account and emailing links for instant download. This has been a wonderful way of avoiding issues around attaching large files/folders to emails. In conjunction with my .mac/MobileMe account, this elegant little app was easy to set up and has been a pleasure to use.

FileChute allows ongoing management of the uploads, including prompts to delete files after a user-specified period. The developers issue free updates so that I have never encountered issues moving through OS X. All in all, an excellent little app and well worth the cost of registering.

MGPALMA  Wow, what a fantastic app. I have to send artwork and marketing material all over the world and REALLY hated having to transfer files via ftp. Not only was it cumbersome but having to explain the downloading process to people was a real hassle. Now it couldn't be easier. Drag a file to file chute, let it upload, click compose email and your done. Yay!

Does it exactly what I want it to do. Perfect. I highly recommend it.

YVES CAPE  Great Job

I use easycrop and snapNdrag for years

JORIS VINCKEN  FileChute is one of those set & forget apps.

It is always in my dock and when sending larger files I just drag them to FileChute and double click the generated link. Mail opens a new message and that's it.

MobileMe accounts are installed automatic, other ftp servers are really easy.

Defiantly worth the investment.

RIOAPS  I've been using FileChute since it first hit the net. It works near seamlessly in its connection to iDisk and MobileMe. It is a convenient extension of the iDick tools. I use it constantly. I also love the way that it allows me to set up other MobileMe accounts, so that I can simply upload or download common data shared between projects and co-workers.

I highly recommend the software and the company. Check out there other wares. You will not be let down.

LYLEG  If you would like to store things on a server and make them easily available to others, pay the trivial registration fee and get and use FileChute.

"Things" could be photos you want to use in a post to a forum, or a 6 MB file you want to give to a colleague but which is too big to attach to an email.

You just drag your file to FileChute, and it uploads it and hands you a URL to use for it. The process is so easy, so fun, you will find yourself using photos more often in your posts just so you can use FileChute. It is poetry in motion. It is so easy, that to an old-timer like me, it is startling.

But the best way to see how wonderful FileChute is, is to download it and try it out.

STEVEN GOODHEART  I got FileChute when I bought the great Yellow Bug Bundle:

* FileChute for sending large files

* EasyBatchPhoto for batch image processing

* EasyCrop and EasyFrame for quickly making email or web-ready photos

* FolderBrander to help make folders easily identifiable

* And Pro upgrades to our freeware apps: SnapNDrag, SizzlingKeys, YemuZip and TapDex

I can honestly say this is the most bang-for-buck I've ever gotten for a mere $39.95 -- I've paid that much for a single program and not gotten nearly the value of this collection of great programs.

I got The Bundle mainly because of the great photo image tools, but what a pleasant surprise FileChute was! I couldn't believe how slick and easy it was to "send" files to friends without attachment headaches and file-size worries. With a few clicks I was set up with my MobileMe account and "sending" friends 100-plus megabyte files with nary a problem -- all with a simple link in an e-mail!

This program is well-worth it's modest price, and for a little more than double the money, you can get a great suite of tools if you're interested in Yellow Mug Bundle. And no, I have no relationship to Yellow Mug, other than being a very, very happy registered user of some of the best software I own.

SCOTT.GARDNER  Confirmed Snow Leopard compatible.

This is a must have app. In the same way that one would go "paperless," this is the natural progression of going "attachment-less." Not only does it save on disk space and conserve bandwidth, but you also have complete control over how long a recipient of your FileChute files has access to be able to download it, and you can make edits to that file and re-upload (overwrite) the existing one, so the recipient can use the same download link. Hugely useful for sending quotes, contracts, etc.

The accompanying iPhone app increases the usefulness of this solution.

I'd like to see these features added:

1. The preference to automatically copy the URL (long or short) to the clipboard upon successful upload.

2. The ability to password-protect a PDF without having to send it as an archive. I realize that this would require manipulating the file itself, but I think this would be technically possible since it can be done easily in Preview.

UNITED MONTESSORI  Great. Love it . It makes sending files so much easier for me.

DHK  I've just been using FileChute for several days. Previously I had used a web based service Yousendit.com, and then "graduated" to the file sharing of MobileMe. Filechute surpasses these because the file is in your control. At the yousendit site it was only around for a few days. At MobileMe it is given an arcane filename you have to send to recipients. Also, since it wasn't MY email that was sending the letter I was never quite sure whether the recipient got it. With filechute using my own email system I have more control over the message, as it remains in my sent folder.

That said the program is ridiculously simple to use. Drag a file to the "chute" on the app panel, and it asks whether you want to send the file straight, or zipped. I had already used the publishers zip program YemuZip to zip up files before I uploaded them to the web, so this just cuts out that step. I then get a web link from FileChute. I double click on the link, and I'm put into Mail, writing an email that already contains the link to the file.

There's even an iPhone app so you can see what's still on your Filechute folder.

Good product. Get it.
