We have been working hard on getting a new release and new features ready for you. There have been many requested features and we always try hard to make them all happen. So if your feature is not included, we may be considering it in the near future.
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
So without further ado, here is the link to try out the new Aruna Send Beta with FREE file storage.
We have updated the Aruna Send Yahoo Widget. The changes are as follows:
- Added ability so send a message to the recipient
- Added French, Swedish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese localizations
- Extended the file drag and drop area
- Fixed UTF-8 encoding bug
- Improved memory usage
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.

And of course you can still send files from the web, from the firefox extension and from Yahoo widgets.
aruna aruna send gadget google gadget igoogle send files upload files widgetIn the continued effort to let you send files as easy as possible, from the location that is most comfortable for you, we have released an extension for the Firefox Browser. Firefox has been taking the Internet by storm with it’s open standards, open source and plug-in architecture. MS Internet Explorer has had the lead for many years but that is now changing rapidly. We are seeing sites with more than 40 or 50% firefox users!
Back to Aruna Send. This plug in allows you to send files from Firefox anytime you like directly from the sidebar (the place on the left where the bookmarks show if you push ctrl + b (or cmd + b for Mac). It allows you to be sending files while still browsing the Internet with one or several tabs still open. No waiting for uploads to finish, just keep on working in Firefox as normal.
The extension has been submitted to Mozilla to be included in their gallery and is awaiting approval there. For those who would like to try it out right away, here it is.

Once logged into your Aruna email or Zimbra mail, you can find the Aruna Send Zimlet on the left hand side of your screen under “Zimlets” section
Click on Aruna Send to open the dialogue window.
Enter the email address of the recipient, enter your email address and then click “browse” to find the file that you want to send (100MB max currently).
When you are finished click Send.
You will then see the progress meter for your file upload.
When it is finished you will be given a link to your file. You can copy and paste this link anywhere and have access to your file.
Your recipient will also be sent an email with the link. We are currently in public beta and they will have 7 days to collect the file. After 7 days it will be automatically deleted from the server.
If you want to send another file, just click “Send Another”
Of course you can also use Aruna Send from the web or from the Aruna Yahoo widget on your desktop. Whichever way you choose, you can send files for free.
aruna aruna email aruna send file upload send files zimbra zimletIn our mission to make applications that are easy and convenient to use, it was only a matter of time before we start to offer other methods to access Aruna Send (other than the web). Today is the first public beta release of the Aruna Send Yahoo! Widget. If you don’t know about Widgets yet, they are handy mini applications that can easily be accessed at any time on your desktop. There is a good article that gives an overview of the major widget platforms available today.
For the first Aruna Send widget, we have chosen the Yahoo! widget platform. They have over 4000 widgets available now and all of them work cross platform on both Mac OS X and Windows. That was a major plus for us in the decision on where to develop first.
The aim of the widget is to make it as easy as possible for you to send files. For those who already are running widgets, just download the Aruna Send Widget and you can upload files and send them to whoever you wish. Your recipient will have 7 days to collect the file (this 7 day period may go up or down after the beta period). The widget itself does not expire but we will have future versions and updates that you will want to watch for periodically. No sign up or account is necessary to use the service.
For those who don’t have Yahoo! Widgets installed, it is easy.
1. Go over to http://widgets.yahoo.com and click on the Install button. The widget application will be installed.
2. Then download the Aruna Send widget. Just double click on the file ArunaSend.widget and it will be installed and you are ready to go.
The process is the same on both Mac and PC.
We will be putting the widget up on a Aruna Widgets project page soon. In the meantime, Aruna Send Widget is available immediately below. By downloading it you will be able to see what your recipient will see when they collect the files that you send them.
Aruna Send Widget is 100% free! Send files, try it out and enjoy!
