Ge.tt: A Simple Real-time Upload and Sharing Service | ZFreet CHeung

Ge.tt is a web-based online file upload and sharing service that allows real-time sharing without registration (although if you register, it can also be used as a personal cloud storage). It imposes no restrictions on file format or size and supports external links for various media files.

The sharing process only takes two steps: upload the file->share immediately. The biggest feature of this service is its real-time capability, almost making it a peer-to-peer file transfer service on the web.

If you have a large file to share, after adding it to Ge.tt, you instantly get a sharing link without having to wait for the upload to finish. Others who receive this link can start downloading immediately, effectively achieving real-time transmission through Ge.tt as if it were peer-to-peer.

At first, I thought Ge.tt used a cloud storage mechanism where only files already on the cloud server could be shared in real-time (equivalent to direct download from the server), which might mislead users. However, after testing with an obscure file, I found that it could still achieve multi-point real-time sharing with excellent speed, so I decided to share it with everyone.

When various services boast about how much faster they've become, isn't the ultimate goal always to reduce user waiting time? Instead of just speeding up, why not find a new way to fundamentally meet the user's desire not to wait? Just like the evolution of free email storage capacity, from 10MB to 100MB, then from 1GB to 10GB, until one email service simply announced "unlimited capacity," instantly outshining those trying to hype "100GB super-large capacity."
