Dubai-headquartered ZipIt, a Web-based file-sharing service that allow businesses to share files easily and securely, announced its official launch yesterday (May 20).

With ZipIt, businesses can share files among their employees, clients, and customers using a variety of features found on more expensive solutions, like front-end customization, file and folder sharing with an English or Arabic user interface. ZipIt is also available as standalone software that can be installed at the office for a completely private file-sharing solution.

“ZipIt allows the sharing of files as large as 5GB and it provides bi-lingual support for Arabic, something that is a first for the region. And one of the best features of ZipIt is that you can share entire folders via email with your customers instead of individual files,” said Ali Adeel, ZipIt’s marketing manager.

“ZipIt is very easy to use and its user interface is very intuitive,” he noted.

“ZipIt has been a lifesaver for us,” stated the managing director of a media organization in Dubai Media City.

“We need to share large files frequently with our customers and internationally located services were just not working out. Initially we used the ZipIt hosted service but as the volume increased, we installed ZipIt on a server in-house and now our clients are able to give feedback immediately and upload their changes.”

ZipIt is also being used as a way for marketing companies to share their branding information with their clients and printing companies instead of mailing large graphic files, a statement said.

Medical organizations are using it for sharing confidential information with other service providers. Architects and consultants are using it for sending large CAD files to clients, suppliers and each other.

ZipIt offers three tiers of very reasonably priced usage packages to meet the needs of the market. – TradeArabia News Service
