Why need CC File Transfer

Home Delivery
Have you ever left an important document at home, and wished you could reach through the Internet from work to retrieve it? Well, now you can!

Just use CC File Sharing to email yourself a link to your My Documents folder. From work, you just click on that folder link in order to browse up and down through the entire hierarchy of your documents folder. When you find the file that you need, just click on the file link to download it.

And you can use the same trick to email yourself access to your documents anywhere in the world that you happen to be travelling. Just email a link to your documents folder to a public email account - Yahoo, HotMail, Google, etc. - and presto, instant access to all of your documents from anywhere in the world that you have access to a Web browser.

Photo Sharing
CC File Sharing lets you share your photos two different ways.

If you have a group of photos, say from a recent vacation or family event, then a very easy way to make them all available for download is to send a link to the folder they are in. By sending folder links, friends and family can drop by and visit your photo folder any time they get the urge.

If you have a particular photo that you wish to send someone, you can simply email a link to that file. When the recipient of your photo-sharing email clicks on this file link, they initiate a download of the image file. They can then view this copy at their leisure.

No matter which method you choose, you are sending only tiny links in your emails, not digital photon bombs - you know, those multi-megabyte emails that people just dread. Sure, they want to see the pictures of your trip. And they love to see pictures of your kids. They just don't want their inbox nuked every time you use your digital camera.

Video Sharing
The explosion in popularity of digital video cameras, together with the ready availability of video editing software packages such as Windows Movie Maker, has created what might be considered the perfect storm for the proliferation of very large files. Whether you are creating videos of your children's birthday parties or your own short films, the question becomes how do you move these monsters around so that other people can see them?

CC File Sharing is the perfect solution to this problem. Simply send them tiny links to those monster files.

File Sharing
Would you like to share file types other than pictures? We have created what we hope you will agree is a very simple way to share any type of file at all. To us, they are all just bits and bytes.

From a legal perspective, however, some are not just bits and bytes. Some of these files, or collections of files, represent the fruit of someone's labor. These files are said to be copyrighted. This means that the creator of these files has the right to determine the conditions under which copies may be made. CC File Sharing is such a copyrighted work. We work hard to make it the best we can. And we are constantly trying to improve it. Many music and video files are copyrighted works, as well. And the artists who created these works feel the same way about their work. They love what they do and cannot envision doing anything else, but they have the right to control the conditions under which copies may be made. This is where your personal responsibility lies - to ensure that you only share files that you have the right to share.

And speaking of simple, remote users need no additional software whatsoever to receive your files. None. Nada. Zip. If they have a working Web browser and email program - and who doesn't these days - they can download a file or view the contents of a folder that you have chosen to share using CC File Sharing.

Email Issues
Most of us have experienced problems trying to send attachments through email. Especially large files. Some email systems do not allow file attachments of a certain type or bigger than a certain size. And these days, with viruses running rampant around the Internet, many email systems strip out all file attachments, regardless of size or type.

CC File Sharing allows you to send very large files by emailing only a very small link to the file, the same way a webpage contains links to other files without containing those files themselves. The file itself gets downloaded from your computer later, when the recipient of your email clicks on the link in your message. Because your email remains small, regardless of the size of the file you are sending, you will not be the one to clog someone else's inbox. And because no files are being attached to the email itself, the files you need to send will not be stripped out.

Files sent using CC File Sharing never pass through the email system used to send the link. This totally sidesteps the technical limitations and privacy issues involved in sending files through email.

Controlled Access
Many file sharing programs out there let essentially anyone in the world access your files without restriction. CC File Sharing takes a different approach, called controlled access, that enhances the privacy of your files without inhibiting your ability to share with the people you intend to share with.

The basis for controlled access to the files and folders on your computer is a link, which acts as a tiny permission slip. Links are encoded so that only someone who has a link originating from you is able to retrieve the associated file or folder from your computer using CC File Sharing. And links allow you to share the files and folders on your computer wherever they happen to be. You don't have to move them to a special folder in order to share them.

If you wish to enhance the privacy of your shared files and folders, you may use password protection. Passwords are assigned on a link-by-link basis, giving you the ultimate flexibility in controlling access to your shared content.

If you delete a link from CC File Sharing, even those who have received links from you can no longer retrieve the associated file or folder. But other links to the same file or folder will continue to work just fine. CC File Sharing gives you control over not only which files can be downloaded, but by whom.

To further enhance the privacy of your files and your computer, you can choose to run CC File Sharing selectively. When CC File Sharing is not running, links will not work. Period. They become broken links. Re-run CC File Sharing and links function once again.
