REVIEW: Upload Robots

20.09.2009 TechnologyNo Comments

Upload Robots has a killer interface, no ads and no download wait times.

Upload Robots provides a simple and beautiful file manager with the ability to sort files into groups and search, something most other file sharing sites don’t have and haven’t done as intuitively.

Aside from a beautiful design and user experience there are a few things I wish they had. Marketed as “an online thumbdrive,” they really should have an iPhone app that shows your files and allows you to attach a link to your file in Mail and store files. It would also be nice if they had integration with social networks like Twitter and Facebook to post your files.

Interview

Nicholas: What is your policy on illegal files like music and movies?
Upload Robots: If we know of any illegal files, we will delete them immediately. More info at http://uploadrobots.com/terms
Nicholas: What happens when you max out your storage space?
Upload Robots: You can no longer upload files, and you get a notification via email as well as on UR. With pro accounts [you get] plenty of space. If you need more, you can contact us and we could work out a deal. (120 GB of yearly storage for Pro accounts.)
Nicholas:Any plans on creating an API?
Upload Robots: Yes, sometime in the next six months
Nicholas: What file formats do you support?
Upload Robots: Any file type.
Nicholas: Thanks, and best of luck!
