Photo / Video Exchange

So, my divebuddy and I had a great weekend of diving, we each took some pictures and videos and went our merry ways back home.


Now we want to exchange some (or all) of the photos/videos. But, shame on us, the files are pretty large and would clog our e-mail servers.


What if there was a way to transfer photos/videos via divebuddy.com.


I’m thinking ... an area where I can control access (so only the buddy I want to transfer the files to can get them) to house larger files for a short period of time (24 or 48 hours), when the period expires the system deletes the files. There would have to be some limits to avoid abuse (maybe only X Gb a month ?) and maybe only paying members could load the files.


What do you think?


What if Greg charged a modest amount (in either dollars or points?) for the service ?

have you tried an FTP site ? i think that would be your best bet.

Unless he has his own website, he may not have an ftp site. I will think about this some more. It would be a nice service...but I’m not sure it’s something I want to get into. There are several file transfer services out there already on the web. I’m sure if you do a google search for it you’ll find something you can use. But I’ll give this some thought as lots of dive centers I know may be able to benefit from something like this.
