The benefits of file sharing with a Send button
One of the easiest ways to share files is with file sharing, lets discuss the benefits of file sharing with a Send button. Most mobile apps have a “Send” button that allows you to send a file without uploading it first. This can be useful if you need to send files or something that’s already large, or if you want to share a file with people who aren’t necessarily on your contact list.
If someone links their phone to your page, they can transfer the file with just one click, allowing them to start downloading it almost immediately.
Set up your page with the Send option so that when someone links their phone, they are given the option to download your link instead of waiting for files to fully upload before sharing it.
1. How to create a Send button
I’m a big fan of binary files (binary_upload, binary_download, binary_download_file) . These are the best for loading large files from the internet. They only work with certain browsers like Google Chrome, Opera and Firefox. If you have other browsers installed, you’ll need to use an alternative JS library that works with these browsers instead of using the native upload/download functions.
Here’s How:
1. Download and install a JavaScript library that works with these browsers (you don’t have to install this now, it’s just made so you can access them in your code) You can find this library here http://www.jsbin.com/boxNxZi7c2z/
2. At the top of your HTML document in your head section add something like this: <script type=”text/javascript”> /* * This is a native file uploading script that works with Chrome */ function fbimobileUpload () { var myFile = new File( “http://www.yourdomainname.com/file1” ); myFile .onload = function () { // this is where we call the function to do our upload; here we just make sure the file size is right… myFile .size = “This is the size of your file”.substring(0, 10); } return myFile; } /* * This is a free JS file uploading script that works with Opera */ function opimobileUpload () { var myFile = new File( “http://www.yourdomainname.com/file1” ); myFile .onload = function () { // this is where we call the function to do our upload; here we just make sure the file size is right… myFile .size = “This is the size of your file”.substring(0, 10); } return myFile; } /* * This is another free JS file uploading script for Firefox */ function firefoxmobileUpload () { var myFile = new File(“http://www.yourdomainname.com/file1”); // The URL of your website or another web page… // …which you want to be uploaded… if (!myFile) return false; if (!myFile .getAttribute(“href”) || !myFile .getAttribute(“href”) || !myfile .getAttribute(“type”)) return false; var bg_src=”javascript:”
2. How to use a Send button to share files
Sharing files is a lot like sharing people with benefits and a Send button. If a file is big, you want to send it as quickly as possible. People will appreciate convenience, so why not just make that happen?
To do this on the Mac:
1. Open the Finder and select “Go Share”.
2. In the share box, enter your email address or use your iCloud account to connect.
3. Enter any file type you like, and click “Share”. You can also include a description of the file if you want to make it more appealing or memorable—or perhaps even add a link right into the file itself!
To do this on the iOS:
1. Select “Go Share” in Safari, then enter your email address or use your iCloud account to connect.
2. Enter any file type you like—or perhaps add a link right into the file itself! It’ll be sent straight from Safari!
3. Tips for using a Send button to share files
There are several places in the world where you can download a file in a fraction of a second. In India, for example, the government has introduced an innovative system that lets you instantly download any file for free.
The system is called the ‘Fast File Download’ (FDF). It lets you download free files by uploading a file, and then sharing that link.
To use FDF, just copy and paste a link from an email or website, and send it to your friend(s). Here’s how:
1. Copy and paste the link you want your recipient to receive into an email/blog post.
2. Click ‘Send’ button. Once it’s on the recipient’s screen, they can start downloading the file immediately by clicking on one of the buttons next to ‘Download’. This is what happens when you post FDF links:
3. FDF lets you share files instantly without waiting for them to complete uploading!
4. Troubleshooting tips for Send Transfer buttons
In conclusion, there is a lot of benefits for file sharing with a Send button. Uploading large files is a problem because of their sizes. File size can be anything from 10MB to several gigabytes. How do you prevent a hurricane of data from flooding your system?
Free file transfer is one possibility, but there are some things to keep in mind:
1) You may have to wait for your Internet connection to buffer the data. Once it does, you can proceed with the upload.
2) You can’t just start uploading even if there is not enough space available on your computer. The upload will continue until there’s no more space left on the device or your local network.
3) A file transfer does not work if you change the device or move it between computers or networks (i.e., via Wi-Fi).
4) If you don’t have enough storage space, every file will be uploaded (even large ones), so it might take forever. Choose another option and start transferring again once there’s more storage space available on your computer (and if networking is possible). This method works only if the size of the file doesn’t exceed 2GB and has been transferred before (so long as you didn’t overwrite it). If you use this method and the size exceeds 2GB, all older files will be transferred and they may not be readable by anyone else. Use this option only when transferring large files that have been uploaded before and haven’t been overwritten yet, but not when sharing links that are still being downloaded by recipients who are still downloading them at that stage of download process (e.g., downloading an ebook or music file).
5) When sharing links that create a temporary link for users to download instead of a permanent link for all recipients, be sure to include a Content-Disposition header in the body content so that all recipients have access to the download link even if they’re downloading multiple copies of one file simultaneously.
