A nice new way to share files here, with Opera.unite!

If you download the new opera webbrowser from

then you can share files on the internet with everybody, it has a build in server, that server caches via

you need to register and set a password. You then get a web address, I got this:

You can make any folder public, and also protect it with a password if you want. So in fact it creates your own webserver!



Opera is available for almost every operating system now.



I can only recommend this browser.



This opera.unite feature can do a lot more too, it is sort of a solution for those of us who want to share pictures and diagrams.



Opera must be running for the files to be accessible though.


OK I see photos. What about data ? Can we share MP3's ??

I see you get 1 MB. I can add that to my 300 GB I allready have with my site.

Well, yes, you can even serve any media file, but there is no password protection, so the whole world can see it. There also is a 'whiteboard', I was drawing some diagram in it, other visitors can also draw into it. But it seems busy on my net connection, so I disabled it. There is much more info on the opera site. The whiteboard may be useful but it is so slow.

? 1MB? I just transfered a 9.3 MB file! It is served from a folder on your PC (say directory), and only _passes_through_ the opera site. It is not very fast though. And it is of course not for people who already run a server, although it can be handy if you are elsewhere.

you want.

diagrams.

That is a bit of a strange requirement. There be something odd underneath the hood here.

It behaves as a web server.
