Track Your Files while Making Tracks with New YouSendIt iPhone Application

Track Your Files while Making Tracks with New YouSendIt iPhone Application
If you’re like most people, after you send a file through YouSendIt, it’s important to know that your customer received it on time. But you’re busy running to client meetings, marketing your company at events and cheering on your Little League All Star.  It may not be convenient or even possible to keep checking your desktop or e-mail for that confirmation receipt.

Now you can monitor your YouSendIt file deliveries from anywhere at any time with today’s launch of the new YouSendIt “Tracker” application for the Apple^TM iPhone or iPod Touch (Read our press release). Available for free, YouSendIt Tracker lets you monitor your file deliveries with a single click on your phone, providing on-the-go visibility for the delivery status of files to see who downloaded what and when, as well as how many times a file has been downloaded.

Millions of you enjoy our service every day, and our vision is to help you get your job done even more quickly and easily. With YouSendIt Tracker for iPhone, the ease of accessing our service is drastically increased, providing up-to-the-moment visibility on the status of critical files, increasing productivity for our users.

To get YouSendIt Tracker—at no charge—visit the “Business” category of Apple’s iTunes App Store. If you’re already registered with YouSendIt, you can begin tracking files immediately, otherwise you’ll need to take two extra minutes and create a free, Lite account on our Web site.

And apologies (for now) to Blackberry and other smart phone users! YouSendIt Tracker marks our entrance into the mobile market, with more innovations to come as part of our overall mobile strategy.

If you’re already using Tracker, let us know how it’s going!

YouSendIt Going Mobile

At YouSendIt, we are working on ways to make sure our users can access and use our service in the ways most convenient for you. Currently we are designing a mobile application for and would love to hear your thoughts on what functionality you would like to see.

A list of potential features include the ability to:

• Download files
• View files
• Track receipt/downloads of files
• Upload files
• Any others?

We would love to hear what you think!

By the way, in case you aren't familiar with all the ways you can send and receive files via YouSendIt, here's a list:

YouSendIt Website: Access from any computer, anywhere by just going to our website at www.yousendit.com. Those of you who are on the go may appreciate the ability to send, receive and track files wherever you are.  

YouSendIt Express (this is a favorite of many of our users): Express is a desktop application that allows you send and receive files right from your desktop. It is 25% faster than the web, provides resume-ability (if your internet connection is lost, your transfer will resume when your connection is restored), and you can zip and send folders!

YouSendIt Microsoft Outlook plug-in: For those of you using Outlook, this is a no-brainer. The Outlook plug-in allows you to keep using your mailbox and if and when the need arises to send a file you want to track or a file that is too large, all you do is click a "Send by YouSendIt" icon and voila! (And by the way, if you take a minute to configure your preferences, files will be sent via YouSendIt without even having to lift a finger!)

Other Plug-ins: We have a list of plug-ins available that allow you to send right from the application you are working in. The list includes: Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, Final Cut Pro, iPhoto, Aperture, Photoshop, CoreDRAW and PaperPort.

I am always interested in user feedback so please post a comment or send us an email at feedback@yousendit.com.
