The public, for better or for worse, was first introduced to the technology called real time media flow protocol (or RTMFP) by Chatroulette. This is the same technology that a new start-up called Sendoid is using to transfer enormous files in only seconds all inside of a web browser. It skips the upload, storage, then download process previously used by many people to privately move larger files to friends via the internet, and provides a direct and private transfer protocol.
Similar services charge money and take a lot more time than Sendoid. This free service can move files in fractions of the time at no cost than services like Yousendit.
The user with the file simply selects it on the Sendoid website and receives a download sharing link. When the link is entered into the second user’s browser, their computers become securely linked together. The file is then transferred straight from computer to computer, and passes through no other servers. This makes the system fast as well as totally private, as no one else can see the data but the sender and the receiver or anyone who gains access to their computers.
The browser based service offers up to a 1GB max file size, but the desktop client does not have a file size cap. Both options are totally free to use, and Sendoid has stated that they have no plans to switch to a paid-for system in terms of file size at all. They will, however, offer a for-charge premium feature set in the future, which will include file grouping as well as additional security layers. The additional security would be great for those transferring sensitive business materials.
Sendoid might just be launching at the perfect time, as the need to transfer larger files has increased with higher resolution images and videos becoming much more popular.
