In terms of operational knowledge and processes, we work with large clients in France that have huge yearly turnover. We developed operandy.com as a tool for them to document processes. It turned into a way for them to value and automate low-value work later on.

It's still early, but one of the ideas we're toying with is linking the search mechanism to a company's employee directory so that file transfers are limited to a corporate context on company devices. We're also looking into an admin console for users to be able to explore their file transfer history and pull out statistical data from these exchanges amongst other things.

I think it would be interesting to compare BitTorrent Sync. They're performance must be quite impressive as well. The processes we've compared across all of these services is only for sending. With Dropbox, you send a link, WeTransfer an automated email, etc. Nevertheless the comparison with BitTorrent Sync would be interesting.

I'd be happy to test with you. If you write to contact at infinit dot io with an email address or username you would like to use, we can give it a go :)

Full disclosure... I work for Infinit, but I'd be happy to answer any of your questions.

Computer programming is inherently a skill that tends towards full automation like any other field of labor simply because of exponential increases in efficiencies and scale. If one programmer can do the job of 5 programmers because the level of automation and the number of available tools allows him to, then the total number of programmers able to enter the market for programming will diminish unless demand for programmers rises at the same or higher rate of automation (a trend that has never occurred in any industry). We're probably not very close to that point just yet, but it may not be too far off.

We're currently working on Windows. It should be done in a couple of months. In parallel, we're really making sure that the OS X application is solid. It's clear that this could be a constraint, but we'll do everything we can to push something out as soon as possible.

We don't store anything on any server. The data is encrypted locally and transferred directly from one device to another. We may use one of our servers to relay the information because of a failed direct connection between devices, but we don't store anything. Mathematically, Infinit cannot read the contents of the transfer because of the encryption. In addition, we don't store any personal information aside from email addresses and anonymous analytics relating to the file transfers.

Disclaimer: I work for Infinit. Invitations will start being sent out in the next day or so. Each invitation comes with 3 invites so that you can begin sharing files with your friends. If you need more you can email support AT infinit DT io and we'll increase the number for you.
