Download your files now!

Please download all your files that you would like to keep to your local storage. In a few days the new site will be up and running. You have to create a new account in the new Binfire and upload your files to the new site (unfortunately we can't transfer your files, you have to do it yourself!).

The current site will become binfire.info and will be accessible until the end of August (we might extent that a bit). After that the servers for the old site will go offline and all content will be deleted.
In summary, download all your files now! Check your email box for notification that the new site is up and running, sign up and upload all your files to the new site.
Best,
David Robins

Update about the move


As I have mentioned in this blog for the past few weeks we plan to update and move our site in the late August. We will host our website and online file storage servers on Rackspace.com, one of the best and most secure site in the internet! The functionality in the site will totally change. The site will look very different too; I have attached a screen shot of the new interface here. Our emphasis will be collaboration and project management tools. We will have a better file hosting and file sharing scheme than what we have currently plus collaboration & project management tools including tasks & milestones, project folders, Secure Status Tweets and whiteboard.
We are investing heavily in the new site and plan to update the site again in late 2010.

Important things you should know about the move:
  • In the first week of August we will disable registration in the old site, we will not accept new users!
  • You need to request by email to move your account from the old site to the new site. Send email to support@binfire.com
  • The deadline for move request is August 8,2010.
  • All user accounts and files which are not moved to the new site will be deleted!
  • You have until end of August 2010 to download your files if your account is not moved!
  • Make sure you get an acknowledgment email from binfire.com regarding your request. If you do not receive an email within three days, please send the request again (we usually get back to you within a few hours)!

Binfire.com is changing

We will release a new version of binfire.com soon. This version will be a totally new redesign. In addition to file hosting, the new site will have project management and collaboration tools. In addition we are moving our service to Rackspace.com. Although the user login information will be moved to the new servers, we don't plan to move user's files. The users can login to the new site and upload new files or move files from old server to the new one. There will be a one month time period for moving files from old servers to new one. Inactive accounts will be deleted after a month!
Why these changes? Because we have a new scalable site with very advance features plus top rated security and redundancy. The new site will have free and paid services. The free accounts will have the basic file hosting plus capability of creating one project. I will publish details about free and paid accounts at a later date.
I will update the progress of the new site and more details on this blog.
If you have any question contact me at support@binfire.com.

Binfire.com's version V is released!

We just released version V of Binfire.com . In this version we have improved the UI for index page share (no login is required). You can upload and send as many files as you want to your friends using this tool. The max size for each file is 100MB. There is no wait or other gimmicks like what Rapidshare.com and others do. You also get hotlinks for sharing and deleting your files whenever you choose to. I feel we have the Best File Sharing tool on the web today!
When you login, you can get hotlinks to files and folders in the file center tab. You can also send multiple files to as many friends and colleagues as you want.
In the home page you can upload 10 Pictures (3 MB each), a video file (100 MB) and an audio file (100 MB). Remember that you have 10 GB free space in your web folder in addition to files you place in your home page.
We have one of the fasted upload tools on the internet and plan to increase the file size limit from 100MB to 200MB or more in the near future.
The collaboration tool is improved too. Go to collaboration tab, create a group, invite members and now you and your colleagues have access to a new web folder which lets you collaborate on projects and tasks. The name of this folder is the same as your group's name.
Give the new binfire.com a try!
contact us at support@binfire.com if you have any questions or suggestions. We love to hear from you!
