Sharing files is a very common activity on the internet. Almost anyone who uses the internet for any length of time has shared a file or two. There are also many ways to do this. Some are more painful than others. Ge.tt has created a way for users to share files quickly and painlessly. There are many different sites that offer a similar service, but Ge.tt helps further simplify the process. Users can upload their file, share it then move on to something else. Their desired user receives the file without all the down time trying to figure out how to get it sent. Ge.tt offers a basic service that many users find to be very valuable.

Ge.tt was founded in November of 2010. It was created to be a real time sharing solution. Based out of Copenhagen, the team remains small (less than five individuals). Employees include CEO Tobias Baunbaek, CTO Mathias Buus Madsen, and business partner Arne Winther. Ge.tt is still very young, but is proving to be a good alternative to other file sharing options currently available such as Dropbox and RapidShare. In February 2012, it was announced that Ge.tt received an investment of €350,000 from Atomico.

Ge.tt helps streamline the act of sharing a file by removing some of the cumbersome steps that users used to have to go through. The internet has become a hugely popular resource, and every day people share files on it. Ge.tt allows them to transfer data in real time. The user can quickly add the file and send it to another individual then move on to something else. When less time is spent figuring out how to share a file, more time can be used to get things done.

The Ge.tt website offers a simple design that works really well for this service. Ge.tt prides itself in simplifying the act of sharing files, and the site helps further that sentiment. Users are greeted by an attractive blue Ge.tt logo and a lot of white space. The grey buttons used throughout the site are easy to spot and look very clean. Ge.tt keeps it simple so the user can get their file sent quickly without wading through content.

A new user can sign up for a Ge.tt account by clicking on the elegant blue “create account” link along the left hand side of the homepage. The link is small, but it is positioned away from the few other links so it is very easy to find. The registration form asks for a full name, email address, and password. After entering the details, the user can click the “Sign up” button at the bottom of the form to complete the process.

There are no subscription fees or other fees associated with Ge.tt. Anyone can create an account and being transferring files through the site. This works well considering there are many other free ways to send a file. Users who create an account will be given greater control over their file transfers. Account holders can see real time statistics and other sharing controls. The user can also access the shared file for up to three months after the transfer.

Ge.tt is a great solution for anyone who needs to share files online. The free price tag makes it appealing to non-profit organizations, small businesses and start ups. Anyone on a tight budget can use Ge.tt. The service is simple, but this is a good thing. Creating an account is free and gives the user a few additional features.
