Milano, Italy – Altomac today has announced Filemailer, their freeware sending and retrieval solution for Mac OS X. Saving both time and disk space, Filemailer is a revolutionary utility that changes the way people share files via internet. Filemailer aims to solve the problem of sharing files between computers while saving space.

Saving Time
Every day millions of people around the world send and receive email (especially to co-workers) whose sole purpose is to transfer files from one computer to another, unfortunately this involves a considerable amount of time because there are a number of conventions that are used when writing an email.

A typical email for sending a file usually require a lot of time-consuming tasks:

1. To write a subject containing the description of the email
2. To write a salutation part
3. To write a paragraph that states the purpose of the email (which is to send a file).
4. To invent and write a paragraph with some courtesy conversation
5. To write a paragraph to state what action sender expect the recipient to take when received the file- to give feedback to received the file
6. To write greetings at the end of the message

Every one of these steps require a lot of time and should be not necessary, because the aim of the email was just to move a file from one computer to another. What’s more, the recipient of the file has to spend other time to send another message by email with some new phrases and circumstance greetings. Filemailer avoids this problem because it does not need to manually enter any text.

Saving Disk Space
Traditional email programs usually store the senders attachments computer regardless of size, making it more difficult to manage for backup and unnecessarily wasting disk space with duplicates of files that we already have.

For example, two colleagues who send a 10MB file from one desk to another create 2 copies stored in their respective email programs dealing with 20MB of disk space. If a similar exchange happens 15 times a day, by the end of the working day the two users have occupied 300MB of disk space, and another 300MB in backup data, for a total of 600MB of unnecessary copies of files. Filemailer avoids this waste of disk space because it doesn’t store locally any copy of the sent files.

Who needs Filemailer?
Filemailer is indispensable for anyone who uses email to send files. Particularly where file-sharing occurs between colleagues. Also, Filemailer is particularly suited to those who need to send files to clients where it is unnecessary to write out an accompanying email.
