How Filespots was created

Exchanging electronic documents is becoming more important in daily work routines - at the office as well as at home. Users still often depend on insecure email attachments or complicated services like FTP.

Features of Youtube, iTunes, Scribd and Flickr on one platform

"We want everyone to be able to easily and securely save, view and share data online. And we want to make sure that the recipient can view the file immediately, even if the software it was created with is not installed on his computer. Filespots does the trick", say Bernd Behler and Martin Obmann, founders and managing directors of Filespots.
"So far the web has offered services for one task at a time: documents, videos, music or pictures. Most of them make the uploaded files public and visible for anyone", Bernd Behler goes on to explain, "now features of Youtube, iTunes, Scribd and Flickr are available on one platform. Filespots combines these single-purpose solutions in one service and provides users with a centralized, secure area in which files can be made accessible to a private group of users."

What's in store

Filespots can be used in any current web browser. In the near future Filespots will provide new interfaces = users will be able to embed Filespots as network drive in their computers - to be used just like any hard disk. Integration in different software is in the pipeline as well. One point will always remain unchanged: You decide who gets access to your filespots and data.
