Deliver Files From Your Website
Now, you can deliver files from your own website. The Web Pickup widget can be easily added to any page on your website in minutes.
Application
Photographers Share photos instantly from your own site and computer instead of uploading them somewhere. By the time it will take you to upload one picture, you can share 100 pictures. You no longer have to compromise your privacy by uploading your family photos online. Binfer will automatically generate thumbnails of shared photos. Family members can quickly preview the photos and download the ones they like. When done, simply delete the shared message and no one can access them anymore.
Digital Content Seller If you are selling any kind of digital content, you can deliver it directly from your own website instead of sending users to get the files from Dropbox or some other external service. Files delivered from your website are not public. They have the same security features as the standard Web Pickup app. Many companies are blocking cloud-based file sharing services. You will have a better chance of delivering files to clients from your own website.
