How to Save Your Diminishing Inbox Storage with BoltFile

26 Jan

Update: The BoltFile service has been shut down. We won’t delete the article for the sake of posterity.

Email services are NOT storage!

[Translate]

Before the good old days of Gmail, Yahoo! mail provided a whopping 4 MB of storage. Although 1 GB looked too much back then I’ve been running out of my Gmail storage space at an alarming rate. I’ve deleted a lot of old emails to keep my inbox storage from getting full. Most of the storage in my inbox was eaten by attachments like – photos (yes, I guess email is the largest photo sharing service!), PDF’s, presentations, spreadsheets, WordPress backups and a lot more!

My Gmail inbox is approaching 80% of its capacity!

While there are a lot of services that let you backup files and share them with your friends without clogging their inbox with huge files that quickly consumes their storage space, not many of them are reliable! Remember, most of the corporate email services still have limited email inbox storage so sending even small files can over time fill it with less-important stuff.

BoltFile – share your files quickly, safely and securely!

I’ve been searching for a service which would let me share files with my family, friends and other contacts quickly and reliably. One service that I’ve really liked is BoltFile not only because of its intuitive dashboard but also because of the level of security, ease-of-use , and reliability it provides.

Sending a file with BoltFile is like sending email!

BoltFile is an ideal solution for a blogger – you can chose to reveal your email or you don’t. There is NO FILE SIZE limit it’s only restricted by your account storage limit. Not only this but you can also see who has downloaded your files, protect your files with a password and also see how many times your files have been downloaded.   BoltFile is not only good at sending large files but also at receiving files. You simply create dropboxes and publish the address of the links and voila! you’re set to receive huge files from almost anyone who has the address. This way you can receive files from your family, friends, office colleagues, sports club, etc so that it is automatically sorted and sorted in their respective dropboxes!

Too High!
The only thing that I didn’t like about BoltFile is that they’re prices are pretty steep starting at $19/month and the highest package costing $399/month. But it shouldn’t be a big thing since its mainly targeted at corporate users and corporations can pay such a premium for a fine service like that.
If you want to try BoltFile just head over to the BoltFile sign up page for a 30-day free trial! Tell me how it goes.
