MacMate Now Includes Filesharing for Large Files
MacMate, the Mac cloud storage and hosting service, which launched to replace Apple’s MobileMe service in 2012, has added its sixth key feature into the growing MacMate cloud service: FileSharing. With a few clicks, users can drag or select a file to share, add a message and send securely. There’s no file-size limits, no bandwidth restrictions and no limit to the amount of files that can be shared. It’s quick, secure and has some innovative features like low-resolution previewing, expiry date and download notification, as well as being able to share a file with multiple users (cc’d or bcc’s) and mailing lists — so a file can be shared with the whole company, school or an entire customer base for example. The really great news is that this unlimited file-size sharing service starts at just $29.00 USD per year, compared to $99.00-plus for comparable services.
Recently MacMate enhanced its hosting service — popular with iWeb users as well as anyone looking for Mac web hosting services — with easy-to-use SEO injectors and true multi-site and multiple domain capability for both websites and email. What’s more is that the hosting is in fact very well specified: 100% uptime cloud clustered hosting with multi-continent load balancing and failover — something you’d normally pay significantly more for. As too are the business-class email facilities that come with MacMate.
MacMate promises to add additional functionality soon with public download folder enhancements, guest upload capability as well as a whole new, re-mastered gallery feature. With major product upgrades every couple of months there’s surely much more to come from MacMate in 2013.
MacMate starts at just $29.00 USD per year for the basic cloud disk storage at 5GB, email, iCal calendar hosting and now FileSharing. The top-of-the-line MacMate Pro ($99.00) package includes the web hosting and galleries features too. Included is a new iOS app for file storage, file sync and gallery management. Both are available from the MacMate website.
