Minbox overview

Minbox lets you send any collection of photos or files from your Mac via email, all for free. It's not only the fastest file-sharing app in the world, but also:
  • Minimal: Incredibly simple and minimal interface
  • Beautiful: Files can be viewed by recipients on any device in a browser - no need to download!
  • Unlimited: Send files of any type or any size!
  • Free: No fees or hidden charges
  • Handy: Press and hold on the send button to schedule messages to send at a later time
  • Photographer-friendly: If you have large photos (especially those shot in RAW format), Minbox makes it easier and faster than ever to send them to friends and family
If you're a photographer, designer, videographer, illustrator, or just send a lot of files on a regular basis, Minbox is a must-have app for your menu bar.

I have to give minbox a low grade as it keeps crashing after a long time but not before the first upload is finished. Combine this with the inability to resume after the crash and you have pretty much useless app for a good service in theory. I can't live with theories alone even though I appreciate the effort.

I initially rated Minbox very poorly, given the long wait time to access the app. However, since my previous review, I have had time to use Minbox on a regular basis and find it very useful for my particular routine. For someone like me, who has little reason to purchase a paid Dropbox account (though I do love Dropbox), Minbox is perfect for sending large video files (500MB+) to coworkers. No issues with upload or download speeds. I did have an issue with the app crashing when I tried to access the preferences, but I received a response and a fix within 24 hours of my initial message. The wait was long, and the app still isn't absolutely perfect, but it is certainly much, much better than I initially thought it would be.

Utterly Incapable of moving files of any substantial size. Perfectly functional with ultra-small text files and the like.

Another 3 days waiting (now >7 days in total) and still getting delaying message: "You're next up, but we're under unexpectedly high load. Please wait for your invitation to be ready... " so my question is - is anyone out there actually using it? are there real-world users out there ?? (real-world users not affiliated with the company - let's have some independent verification that the app exists and works as described please) until such verification/proof of use/existence is forthcoming, I suggest the app is vapourware...

I also had a 4 day wait time, which is now up to a total of 7 days given the "unexpectedly high load" they claim they are under. This appeared to be a good alternative to dropbox sharing/file sharing sites, but this wait to use it is just silly. Maybe Minbox wasn't quite ready for a public release. Vaporware indeed.
