Here goes...my first official blog post...I hope it doesn't suck...but sink or swim I'm diving in...
If I had to define the TrueShare Direct-Link feature in alphabetical order, I would say that it is a cool, easy, effective, efficient, flexible, fun, liberating, powerful, and secure way to share files on the Internet.
Any of the files stored on your TrueShare drive are accessible from anywhere you need them through a Direct-Link. As the name implies, this feature provides a hyper-link to an individual file that can be used like any other hyper-link on the Internet. It's too easy. Just click on the file action menu for a specific file and select the Direct-Link option to access a pop-up window that allows you to create (or delete) a link to the file. You can then copy/paste this link anywhere you need it. For instance if you wanted to include a picture in a blog post you could simply paste the Direct-Link into the image tag of your blog editor and your image will present in your blog without having to upload it to your blog host. There is also a Direct-Link Manager where you can manage links to all of your files so it is easy to store and manage links to entire collections of files.
You can use a Direct-Link for any files that you want to share on the net.
Here are a few examples of how you can use Direct-Link to provide access to your files:
Provide PDF downloads from your website
Embed a video in a newsletter
Email a link to a large file
Post pictures to Facebook
No matter what the use is, Direct-Link is an awesome feature that significantly simplifies and greatly extends the ability to share files online.
But don't take my word for it, share a file with someone today and see for yourself just how fun it is.
