2335 FilesAnywhere announces availability of a free web storage application for Mac users called FilesAnywhere Desktop for Mac. The new Mac application provides an easy way for Mac users to upload files to the web and share files with anyone. FA Desktop allows simple drag-and-drop uploads from the Mac desktop, or you can upload directly from a right-click on any selection in the Finder.

The FA Desktop app also creates web links to files, which can be emailed to anyone without any file size restrictions. The web file links can be pasted into any blog or website text, making files instantly available for downloading. The FilesAnywhere Desktop automatically compresses files during uploads. This results in very fast upload performance, up to 20 times faster than standard uncompressed uploads.

Anyone can store 1GB of files on FilesAnywhere for free, using the FA Desktop for Mac and the other online features at http://www.filesanywhere.com. Mac users can also install a utility from FilesAnywhere called FASYNC that provides automated scheduled backups and synchronizes folders on the Mac with offsite storage at FilesAnywhere. Users of the Apple iPhone can login to access or share files using the iPhone-compatible mobile site, m.filesanywhere.com.

"Now millions of Mac users have a simple way to upload, download and share files right from their Mac desktop, at the click of a mouse," says Chetan Jaitly, Co-founder of FilesAnywhere. "This application has been developed using our powerful API. Developers can now use this same API to develop their own applications and modules to share files to and from FilesAnywhere accounts."
