Docstoc launches a simple e-mail attachment replacement
Today file host Docstoc is releasing a solution for sending large attachments to friends, family, and coworkers. Called OneClick, the small application must be installed on the sender’s machine to enable right click contextual menus that let you simply click any file on your hard drive and send it either publicly or securely to others. Once it’s been transferred you’ll get a link that will drop down right inside your open e-mail message that will take the recipient to the hosted version of the file on Docstoc.
Like Scribd’s solution, which launched last week, OneClick has been designed to entice business and casual users to start simply uploading their documents instead of e-mailing them for the sake of compatibility and size. Not everyone has Gmail or Office 2007 which offer popular file compatibility. Nor have all users implemented the small software tweak on older versions of Office that will let you read those .Docx files with ease. Instead, solutions like Scribd and Docstoc are taking office software out of the equation entirely.
It’s also a pretty simple way to get users uploading more of their documents from a local machine. Instead of having to go through Docstoc’s Web uploader (which is simple and easy to use), you can get them uploaded with just two clicks whenever you come across something you’d like to upload.
The small application is PC only for now. I’m told a Mac version will be on its way soon. To see a video of the tool in action, click the read more link below.
Right click on documents to upload them to Docstoc directly, then pop them conveiniently into e-mails.
