Thanks Jon,

So there is no interface of sorts for the client to select what they download or not. Basically I choose what downloads to their local folder.

Greg,

Yes, there is a small program that needs to be installed on the clients computer and your computer. Then you set up a folder on your computer and within the software, you will create a "Secret Code" that you send to the client. They use the secret code to set up the folder on their computer. And that is it. Whenever you put something in your folder, the clients computer will start downloading right then and there. Both computers need to be on; the file is not hosted anywhere on the web except on your computer and the clients. It sounds harder than it is. I think it is simpler to use than Dropbox.

Hope that help!

Cheers, Jon

Jon, does the client need a special program or certain login to grab the files? Or can you just send them one link to the folder and they see all the files there?

Dennis, just to be clear, with Dropbox, you can right click a file and choose share drop box link to generate a link on the fly that you can show a client. You can also do this with a folder and the client will show all files in that folder. That link stays active as long as that filename or folder name is there, so you can render over it and tell a client to check the same link for the update.

Also, you can hover over the dropbox icon in the system tray, or I believe now you click it and then click the cog icon and you can see your transfer speed and estimate of when all files will be finished uploading.  Also each icon has a blue arrow circle when it's uploading and a green check mark when it's completed.

Dropbox has been mostly good for me, but it does get confusing with having to invite people to share the files, and I don't like the lack of feedback as to how long a particular transfer is taking. 

For instance I can drag a 200Mb file into the folder on my desktop, and it shows up right away. But I know it takes longer than that to transfer so I gotta guess.
