If you closely observe the trend prevalent online these days, it’s definitely all about minimalism. Minimalistic design, minimal work and all this in the least amount of time. If one online activity stood out like a sore thumb with this trend, it would have to be file sharing. We all have been victims of those moments when the file took a century to upload. E-mailing with attachments can be the worst nightmare.

Ge.tt (no I haven’t misspelt it) is aptly named for the function it performs. Its a website which allows you to share files with others easily.

How Ge.tt works:

Once you are at the home page, select the files you want to share.
While your file is being uploaded, a unique URL is generated, which you can share with the receiver. This link will be active for 30 days even if you don’t have an account with Ge.tt.
You may also email the uploaded file to the receiver’s email id from within the Ge.tt page itself accompanied with a note.

You can also view the number of downloads or views your file receives.

Ge.tt proves to be a time saver and an effective tool for file sharing. Its quick and well designed. What do you think about this tool? Let me know your thoughts and feedback. Leave behind your comments below.
