Glad to see this, knowing it will help ge.tt survive a good while. I've been using their file sharing service frequently since I first saw it advertised here on HN about a year ago. With features such as f.e. their MP3 player, and the real-time sharing (share files while they're still being uploaded), it's definitely the best file sharing solution I've seen. Also a big thumbs up for letting people share anonymously and instantly, without the hassle of registering an account.

Agreed. I learned about ge.tt from a HN comment on a Techcrunch story about Kicksend 4-1/2 months ago.

And ge.tt has the fewest "clicks" to share a file I've ever seen. I've recommended it to non-technical friends a few times since.

Great work by the Ge.tt team. I hope they be able to grow this service even further. The competition, Venture cup, which they won in 2010 was won by us (Iconfinder) in 2011. Small world!

I love Iconfinder!

I wish I would get funding for my file sharing service that has been out for a good 5-months+

Maybe I need to develop a mobile app for it and market it some more to get some recognition. :/

Well, looking at your website I wasn't sure what to do. Your step 1 is "enter unique name for your drop" - it should be : "upload a file to share" that's the main thing.

I would make the upload file the center, take a look at ge.tt :)

gautaml3• 15 years ago

Well to be honest I have a different approach to sharing. If you've ever used drop.io you know mine is similar.

The idea behind mine is you can create custom urls for the files you upload hence why you have to select a name (or keep the random one generated for you).

It's a shame that some people just give up trying to figure it out without even attempting to click or interact with a site.

I appreciate your feedback but I can only dumb down the process so much :)

Nice to see a Danish startup getting traction. Go Europe! ;)

Ge.tt is by far my favorite file sharing service, been using them since beta. They've also released some of their code as open source on Github.

It's interesting what business model will allow them to cover costs of providing 2GB for free? (without mentioning signup-free 250Mb)
