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.
