Easy file sharing with Kaze Cloud

Very often when working with clients I have a need to send them files or get files from them. This is never a convenient experience.  I have to setup an FTP account on my server and then send the user info to my client.  Very often my client doesn’t have an FTP client or know how to use FTP so the whole thing gets more complicated than it needs to be and takes a lot of my time.

I decided I could streamline this process by creating a simple to use file sharing application using Adobe’s AIR platform and Amazon.com’s S3 file storage service.

My goal was to develop an application that would be easy to use and secure.  Thus Kaze Cloud was born.

Using Kaze Cloud to share files is simple.  With the admin. application you create storage destinations where you and your clients/colleagues can upload/download files.  When a storage destination is created a pass key is generated which allows individuals using the client application to access the storage destination to upload/download files.  With Kaze Cloud the transferring of files is done securely and the files are stored securely in S3.

After creating the file storage destination with the admin. tool you simply send the pass key along with the URL to download the client application ( Kaze Cloud generates the instructions for you ) to you client.  After he/she downloads the free Kaze Cloud client application and enters the pass key you generated, the file destination in S3 is available for uploading/downloading via drag and drop.

When you are finished you simply delete the file destination you created and it is no longer accessible.

I’ve already been using this application with my clients and the feedback from them has been positive.  Not only has it been easy for them to use but it has made my life less complicated than using FTP.

Head over to the Kaze Cloud website and give the program a try.  I’m sure you will find it useful as well. This is a program I’m very excited about because it’s the type of tool I’ll use on an almost daily basis.
