You just spammed my entire friend list with private messages, without my confirmation!
I clicked 'import facebook friends' assuming it would simply import their friend id's and message them when I tried to send them something. When I saw that you wanted to send them "invites", I clicked "cancel", but you sent several hundred messages anyway. This is unacceptable behavior by any application. I haven't been this pissed in a long time, now I have to spend an hour manually messaging each of those people and apologizing for the spam.
3 days ago we only had a screencast up online. Today we launched our new website that you can download the alpha version of our app from and actually use.
It's probably worth listing the reasons I should use this along with dropbox/box/sugarsync/whatever else (although it's perfectly valid if you're targeting users who don't already use one of those).
I imagine early users will hit your site wondering if there's something there that they don't already have.
Just wondering why there isn't some type of authentication/authorization going one. i.e. If your delivery method is to a Facebook friend, why not require authenticating them to Facebook before granting access to the file?
Is the only security in place knowing a 9-digit number + filename?
There are lots of people for which requiring Facebook is a complete non-starter. From the front page, it looks like FB is required.
For some people, deep Facebook integration makes things easy... but I suspect for your audience (early adopters, HN types), focusing on FB may be a bad plan.
I don't see mention of GMail integration on the site, and when I click "Get Started" or "My Files" it takes me to Facebook. So I assume then that Facebook is required, and gmail contact integration is in addition to Facebook contacts. Is that right?
Thank you. This is great that it uses my facebook friends and I don't have to scramble for everyone's email addresses. +1
I did notice that it's not case-insensitive which would help a lot. Also, this might be on your roadmap but a progress bar or some feedback of it being sent would be great.
