Great file sharing utility. Does what it says, quick and easy. Though with the demise of MobileMe, we'll need some new options for uploading our files to other providers.

I use FileChute for about 6 years and it belongs to the golden rule: if it never failed and worked fine for me I do not need to fiddle around with any others. File Chute always worked perfect and I believe it will in the future. I have a huge amount of data on Mobile me and I have just started to move all of it to my domain, so File Chute will stay the main feature for sending files even when Big Brother's baby AKA iCloud will grow up in July...

FileChute has NEVER failed me. It is easy to upload and download and the clarity of operation is amazing. Keep up the great work and thank you for such a well-thought-out piece of software. I bought it for my whole family.

Does it work with iCloud yet? I am tempted to download but it is not clear on either this site or the product site if moving to iCloud changes compatibility.

iCloud lacks an iDisk, so I don't know how this app would work with it. I doubt it will be useful after our iDisks are gone, but I hope I'm wrong.

philbridges had trouble on 28 Aug 2008
I've had a problem recently after my ISP locked me out unless I reset my password to something far more secure... so I set a really went it for and included the £ sign (it's similar to a $ but far stronger!) .

For some reason Filechute didn't like the changed password so (tongue-in-cheek) I logged a call with the author to see if he could offer any clues. Bear in mind the program only costs just $15, I kind of thought I was pushing my luck but..

Within a few hours Jay (the author) came back to me, asked for a bit more info and.. afew hours later... hey presto updated Filechute to accommodate my very draconian password scheme!!

I'm an IT Manager and hey, I've bought software for the office costing anything for 10 -100 times what Filechute costs yet the support those companies gave me didn't even touch the sides compared to Filechute.

As Amber McArthur and Don McAllister have pointed out in the past, Jay is one of the good guys for sure, he clearly doesn't do it for the money, he does it c'os he believe he wants to contribute to the Mac community, and I for one am very grateful, THANK YOU Jay!

Very good app indeed, it has helped me several times.

FYI: version 2.8.2 does not decompress correctly (neither the download through MacUpdate nor the update from the app itself. Probably some corrupted file. Maybe the developer could inform us on MacUpdate once this is fixed.

Problem appears to be at your end, the downloaded .dmg mounts with no issues here.

Thank you, I will try again later, after restarting my Mac. Since I had the same problem both through MacUpdate and inside the app, I had not expected the problem could be on my end - especially since the previous updates went flawlessly.

FileChute ... How many times have you tried to email a large file only to have it bounced? There is an easier way to send large files and you have just found it.

FileChute makes sending files easy. Just drag a file and drop it on FileChute. FileChute puts the file on your MobileMe account and generates a web link for retrieving the file all in one step. Next drag the generated link into your email and you're set to go. And since what you're sending is just a link, your recipients can retrieve the file from a Mac, a PC or any other platform. You can even drop multiple files or folders at once. FileChute automatically creates an archive in the format of your choice - it supports dmg, zip and tar - and sends the archive file.

FileChute works best with a MobileMe account, configuration is super easy. But since not everyone has a MobileMe account, FileChute also works great with other FTP or WebDAV-accessible web server. Perform the one-time set up by following the built-in Help. Once it is properly set up, FileChute works just as perfectly with non-MobileMe servers.
