Share Files With Fellow Students Using Driveway
As students in college, we’ve got some needs to share files over the internet. Maybe we need to share a word document with a fellow student, maybe a mp3 of a lecture we missed, or a pdf that we need to study for a test.
Ever tried most of the known file transfer sites? Well let me tell you right now don’t even bother. They’re usually slow, unresponsive, and the links seem to expire when you need them.
Which is why I got excited when I heard about this new service called Driveway. Here’s a snippet from them:
Driveway (http://www.driveway.com) is a new free web based service for online file sharing.
Most email systems such as gmail have limits on file sizes (typically 10-20MB etc..) you can use as attachments; you can overcome that limit by using driveway’s ‘Parkit’ links for files up to 500MB in size and unlimited total storage for sharing with no download limits! You can also post the ‘Parkit’ links in blogs.
Enjoy the beauty of driveway on the internet super highway.
As a test, I put up this pdf of a public domain book I found in Google Books by Charles Thwing titled Letters from a Father to His Son Entering College:

Just type in the security code and hit download!
If you want to upload, go to the main page, hit browse, select the file you want up, decide whether or not you want to “park” another file, and hit send. (if you want the file sent to someone, just fill that section in, but it’s not necessary to use the service.)
Overall, a file sharing service to definitely check out!
