We Have A Winner!

March 20th, 2007

Actually, we have three winners! We recently asked you to name our new desktop application. Thousands of you entered in the hope of winning a free year of sendspace Max. We have decided on the name…

sendspace Wizard

Congratulations to the three entrants who suggested ‘Wizard’. We have decided to give all of you a free year’s sendspace Max!

Our winners are: Dave, from the UK, Olivier, from France, and S. Whittingham from the USA.

We would like to thank all who participated in the competition. With thousands of entries, we certainly had many imaginative names to choose from. The quality of entries was very high. In the end, our judges decided ‘Wizard’ was the most appropriate, because we plan to expand the tool well beyond the basic functionality of an upload/download tool. It will be magical!

sendspace Wizard, our long awaited free upload/download tool will be launched very soon. We are very excited about the extra features that will be available, and we are sure you will be too. Watch this space!

We Never Delete An Active File!

March 14th, 2007

Many of the files on sendspace have been around a long time. The oldest file still available was uploaded by a free user on Nov 6th, 2005! This popular file has been downloaded many thousands of times since then, keeping it continuously active.

Unfortunately, we can’t give you the link because we maintain the right of the uploader to safe, private, file sharing. The uploader always controls who has access to their files.

What we can tell you is this small file has used up nearly 60GB in download bandwidth, and has been downloaded all over the world, from Arizona to Zambia.

sendspace has always offered unlimited uploads, unlimited file downloads, and no time limit on active files - all for free! More than a million unique users every day agree; sendspace is the best!

Now it’s even easier to Pay!

February 13th, 2007

We know that some of you have had difficulty making payments through PayPal, particularly if you do not live in a supported country. So, we have introduced a new credit card processor to make things easier.

You can still pay by PayPal if you prefer, or you can use our new credit card processor. Naturally, whichever payment option you choose, all transactions are completely safe and secure, using SSL encryption. Your privacy is assured. sendspace does not store any credit card data and we do not renew your account automatically.

We support most credit cards, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Diner’s Club. You can pay using a Discover card through PayPal.

sendspace Max and Pro, our popular premium services, are now available to even more people. We hope this improvement helps everyone to experience the full benefits of sendspace, wherever you are.

You can set download limits for your files.

January 30th, 2007

You asked to set limits on your files and we listened. We are pleased to introduce a great new feature that lets Max and Pro members set download limits for their files.

You can choose to only allow a certain number of downloads, for example, 10, or set the file to become unavailable after a certain time, for example, 7 days. If you set both limits, it’s whichever comes first.

Once the limit has been reached, you choose whether or not the file is deleted, or saved in your folder for sharing again at another time.

It’s all controlled in MyFiles, where you can already change filenames, description, password etc.

Max and Pro members have so many great administration features to use. Let us know what else you would like us to do to make sendspace even better.

If you thought Max was just for fast, instant downloads, think again. It’s all that and so much more!
