In email, people attach files to send to people. Maybe on the Zone, we could do the same?

Possibly in email and quicknotes?

I don't think the zone will ever have such a feature.

Something like that can easily be used for piracy.

also, that would most likely slow the site to a crawl. there are so many other ways you can send files, I can't say the demand for this would be worth the struggle, not to mention, as kool_turk said, the issue of piracy.

If you want to send files or just keep a few documents somewhere safe, check out dropbox. They give you 2 gb for free and a desktop application that keeps files in your dropbox folder synchronized to the dropbox server. I used to keep my school work in here so it would never be lost, and not only did it sync to the server, but anything I pasted from my netbook ended up on my laptop as well, since dropbox was loaded on both. You can share a specific subfolder with one or more others, or put files in the public folder and send a link.

If you use this link to register, you'll get 250 mb extra, since I referred you:

Also, they have an iPhone app, in case anyone cares.


Hope this helps.
