As of now, I am just playing with it, but the ability to attach files to notes or memos that are then instantly available on other devices, is rather attractive. I found it by chance and am trying to figure out, if I can use it as a sort of notetaking software, with synchronization function. Since I am living in Japan, it would be very important to have a Japanese UI available, if I were to collaborate with other people (thinking about that). Just for my very limited personal use, I don't think, I would choose a paid plan.
#APPLE AIRSEND TRIAL#
Currently, I am using a trial version and learned yesterday, that the "real thing" would have to be paid for. Since I am not really a computer nerd, I DID have some troubles finding my way around, but overall the application appears to be managable and helpful. Simply sending a file requires more clicks than the name suggests The colour scheme falls down a common trap with modern web apps - it's grey on white, low contrast, and not allowing the user to set a dark mode/high contrast mode/own colour scheme. I can see this being ideal as an ad-hoc extranet replacement without the firewall issues Simple teamworking is at the core of the product, and it may be a good value option for some teams.
The presentation is modern, lots of white space, and there's clearly some effort gone in to a clear layout. If you want actual teamworking inside your own organisation, there are other options which are a superset of this functionality
#APPLE AIRSEND SOFTWARE#
I can see this becoming a replacement for corporate extranets where a large support file and surrounding installation discussions need to be issued selectively and quickly - for instance a hotfix of a bit of software or for sending a video edit for comment, although it's not optimised for either of these specifically they would be use cases where this has a place. As the devs are working at this, I'm watching this space. This duality means it may not have found its place yet, although it is clearly trying to find that sector and direction. If you just want to send a file, it is a bit more involved than those products - it's a teamworking app, really, and a very simple one. The name AirSend suggest a previous direction, but this is not yousendit or wetransfer, it's much more, and that's a strength and weakness. Would highly recommend taking the same approach as NextCloud, or rework the UI of the app to feel similar to that of other major competitors with fewer scruples.Įarly version, shows a lot of promise but not offering anything unique yet In the cloud industry, we are very focused on individual security hygiene, and an app or service that looks like a consumer app could raise eyebrows and slow progress. I have to admit, as a professional, this isn't in a state yet where I would feel comfortable using it as a method of transferring files to clients, partners or coworkers. App is clean and is pretty clear about what it does.
#APPLE AIRSEND CODE#
AirSend is a great idea, applying the same strict ethical code from cloud-based home servers to cloud-based productivity. I've been a CodeLathe fan since around 2008, when I purchased my first TonidoPlug. In this day and age, it's almost impossible to find a cloud-based piece of software that doesn't consume your data for money, or lie about the interactions between the user and their data. Great idea, just not sure the two ends meet yet.
