[APP] Min.us – Another Way to Share Files and Photos

If sharing your life with the world is important to you, or even having a simple and easy place to store files and photos, then Min.us might be right up your alley. You simply set up a Min.us account at minus.com, nab the application from the market and you are set.

What makes this easier to use then most service has to be its simplicity. Many applications try to over do it and offer to many things for you to mess around with. Minus makes it pretty cut and dry. With the app you can easily open it up, take a photo and upload it directly to your feed. If there are photos you want to share from you device, simply upload it.

  Once the file or photo is uploaded you can do a few things. You can set it to private or public. If you make it public, then anyone that finds you in the system can view what ever it is you have shared. Private of course means the opposite. Kinda makes Dropbox a little more of a hassle now.

What makes sharing so unique is the screen you see above. This is taken from the website. As you can see it gives you pretty much every option you could ever need to get the photo out to anyone on any medium. As far as file size restrictions, upload limit is set to 50 MB per file (25 MB files for guests), 100 files per gallery and unlimited uploads. There is no limit to the number of galleries you can create. I can’t find a cap on total amount of files though. Just the size of the file. Which means you should never run out of space for sharing or uploading.

The application was just update today with a grip of new features and fixes.
