On to the announcement, today we are promoting the new version of Aruna Send to public beta and anyone is free to try it out… for free of course.

Here are the new features:

Free File Storage – My Files Tab
Yes, free storage that doesn’t expire (as long as you continue to use the service, you must log in every six months to keep your account active). Upload and store your files and and organize them within folders.

Sent Files History
Now you can see the history of the files you have sent to people through Aruna Send. Easily re-send files that were sent before (assuming they are within their expiry)

Extended Aruna Send file expiry
Logged in users sent files now have a 14 day expiry period (instead of 7 days for the free version). In addition there is a new “Copy to Storage” feature where you can copy any of your sent files over to your file storage area. This means you can keep those files and re-send them as many times as you wish.

Increased Aruna Send File sizes – Now send files up to 150 MB

Sharing
You can also easily share files that are in your online storage with the provided links to easily post on the web, forums etc.

Open ID
To use the new features of Aruna Send you must have an Open ID. Open ID will let you log into many websites with one ID.

More robust back end and storage infrastructure – We will write more about this later

If you already have the Aruna Send Yahoo Widget, you should be asked to update when you check for updates.

If you are not familiar with the Aruna Send Widget, it is a super convenient way to send files. It sits on your desktop (both Mac and Win) in the background and whenever you want to send a file, just drag and drop it on the widget, enter an email address you want to send to and click send.

Aruna Send Widget is totally free and there is no signup required. Just send files for FREE! You can get the Aruna Yahoo Widget from here.

Right now there is a limit to sending to ten Facebook friends at a time. This unfortunately is a limit of the Facebook platform.

We will be making further improvements to the Aruna Send “Send Files” for Facebook in the near future. If you have any suggestions for features or improvements please let us know at support @ arunalabs.com.
