Do you do any photo sharing or file sharing with your friends? Keep and Share offers both, and it’s free to join. You can store thousands of files, and they can be public or secure. Think of it as your computer briefcase while you are on the road. Besides storing files or pictures, and you also have a public, or not, calendar. I personally use Outlook, and my phone, but the calendar option is great if you running group events where you want to share it.

One of the things I particularly liked about the photo sharing is that you can put your photos in a journal like blog. This can make it a little more fun for your friends viewing them. Competitors usually just allow you to title, or add a small caption. They allow 1,000 x 1,000 pixel images which is enough to fill most monitor screens, and they allow as many as you want.

Cool little tool, and can be handy when you are on vacation or on the road. I know many times my wife and I like to upload our pictures while we are still on vacation. This is just the tool for that. Keep and Share

Do you play email ping pong with some of your files? You know, the files that are constantly getting edited by yourself and a few others. You email the latest version, someone else emails their latest version, you don’t know what is the actual latest version, and you keep fixing fixes. There is a better way, Keep and Share.

Why You Should Share

My wife plays this game all of the time. She writes up a proposal, sends it to the boss, the boss makes some edits, and then sends it back to her. Sounds simple enough. What she doesn’t know though is that the boss also sent the edited version to their marketing department for review as well. The marketing department makes some more edits, and sends it back to my wife with the new edits. That part took a couple of days though, and my wife already had more changes on the bosses version, not the boss’s/marketing version. Now she has to figure out if the marketing version has the bosses revisions or not, and start over. SHARE THE FILE, and stop wasting time.

Share What

A lot of companies offer file sharing through the network, but it’s often not taken advantage of simply because employees don’t know about it, or don’t know how to do it. Either way, and if there is no way, you can always use Keep and Share’s file share. Simple sharing of a single file, and no more confusion. Using Simple Share you have a few more options than just sharing a file.

Things to Share on Keep and Share

Pretty cool service, and after you login you will find it very easy to use. I actually like the login layout better than the home page logged out. This service is great for work, groups, family, or friends.
