File sharing utilities are legion on the web. The best known of them is of course the famous WeTransfer, but the alternatives are really numerous and we have presented a good number of them on this blog. All these file sharing sites have different characteristics in particular on the maximum size of the files, the retention period... or functionalities that allow them to differentiate themselves.
The one we are going to talk to you about today, NoriShare, has 3 features that make it stand out. It is free, French (made in Rouen) and offers a file preview system!
File sharing with NoriShare
What matters with sharing tools files is first of all the size maximum number of files that can be shared. From this point of view, NoriShare is in line with what is usually done, it is possible to share files up to 1GB per day. This is not bad, but not exceptional, and this limit should soon be raised to 2GB. But in reality, in most cases, apart from wanting to share films, 1GB is largely sufficient.
Then, a second key element is the retention period. Here again, we remain in the very classic since your files will be deleted after 14 days.
But what sets NoriShare apart is its online file preview system. This system has at least two big advantages in my eyes!
First of all, if the person you are talking to send the file is a little paranoid, she will be able to view it without even having to download it to her computer… not bad for avoiding possible viruses!
Second advantage, speed. If you just need to take a look at a document, an Excel spreadsheet or an image, you can see it directly online without having to save it and then open it. And here is what it looks like with an image JPG and an Excel workbook:
So, more than 500 file types can be previewed like PDF, MIDI music files, all Adobe suite files and This is also the case with videos !
Finally, the tool is 100% free, without advertising and does not keep any trace of your personal data. Moreover, NoriShare does not ask you to enter an email address at any time.
Since its creation in 2017, this tool has continued to improve and I am sure that in the coming months new features will be added to those already in place!
