Share Files on Friendfeed!

Friendfeed has just added a share files feature. Previously, you could only share pictures but now you are able to upload a variety of files such as mp3 and PDF (except videos). You attach files via the web interface or by emailing file attachments to share@friendfeed.com.

There also seems to be an upload limit.Here’s what Taylor from Friendfeed has got to say:

We have a rolling 24-hour upload limit, so if you upload a number of big files, you will eventually hit it.

We have stricter limit on audio file uploads (3 per day per user now, but it could change in the future). Regarding copyrighted materials, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable intellectual property law (including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act) and to terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. You can see details of our policy here: http://friendfeed.com/about/dmca.

Our target users for this launch are the people using FriendFeed groups for collaboration, so we optimized the feature for sharing smaller documents, not just media files.

I’ve uploaded a test document. See it here – http://friendfeed.com/88michael/4f3d6581/testing-new-friendfeed-file-sharing-feature-i
