Seems good, but emails? Again? What makes this different from SendSpace or WeTransfer?

Do something different. Maybe a combination of keywords + geolocation for identifying files.

-- I've sent you a file at poetic.io!

-- What is the link?

-- Just go there, it's in your address.

Yes, about emails you are right. I'm pretty open to find another solution. We can also brainstorm a bit about the solution if you like :)

I think poetic.io has a much better UI, user experience (comparing it with SendSpace). The real differences will be deployed in two/three weeks: - previews on pictures (gallery), pdf and media - background customisation for the transfer (for example with your brand) The pro version will be completely different, I'll keep you updated on that ;)

After this chat we made an update to the "terms of service" under "Rights you licence". Let me know what you think guys.
What makes Poetic.io different than other methods of transferring and sharing file? (Dropbox for example has 10 GB limit file-size limit)
with Dropbox you have to register, install a software and, most of the time pay,(actually you just have 2GB per account): https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/73 You have also to keep the file on your computer while is shared.

Here you have 3GB per transfer (unlimited number of transfers), no registration needed.
