File Storage: FilesAnywhere Announces File Sharing On Facebook Platform With Free 1GB Storage For Users

FilesAnywhere, a leading online file storage service, announced recently a new Facebook Platform application that enables free peer-to-peer file sharing, available for all users of Facebook. In support of this new application, FilesAnywhere is providing free 1GB file storage accounts for all Facebook users that add the app.

Users of Facebook are able to embed FilesAnywhere's unique file sharing features directly on their Facebook profile pages. This makes it easy to store and share music, photos, documents, and all other kinds of files directly on Facebook. Users can upload files into either a public or private folder structure and also create web links (direct URLs) in Facebook for any file storage folder to instantly set up shared folders. User files and file sharing features also can be easily accessed from all web-enabled mobile phones, including the new iPhone.

Facebook users can add the free application from this web page: apps.facebook.com/filesanywhere.

Facebook is a social utility that offers an efficient way for people to stay connected with their friends and the people around them. With more than 37 million active users, Facebook is the sixth-most trafficked website in the United States.

According to FilesAnywhere Senior Vice President Chetan Jaitly, "The Facebook application is the first step in our initiative to capitalize on the company's online file storage services by integrating them with many different kinds of web services having mass appeal." Mr. Jaitly continued by stating that "integration with Facebook Platform for this application was the first logical choice for our API integration because of the large number of active Facebook users and because Facebook Platform allowed us to build a FilesAnywhere application that is deeply integrated into the user experience."

Free 1GB accounts can access the powerful additional features found only on the FilesAnywhere.com website. Standard features include: folder sharing with permissions, file versioning control, photo albums, online slideshows, guest file links, file access notification and detailed tracking. Larger storage plans and more features are available for a monthly fee, including automated backups for Windows based and Mac computers, local/remote folder synchronization, online viewing and editing of documents with no download, as well as streaming playback of audio and video files.
