Minus Desktop Application for Linux

[nixer]

Where you create folders? I can't find it. All I have is public and private.

First, you upload a file.  Use the "Upload" link in the top left corner of the window.  This actually creates the "folder" and places the first file within this folder.  By default, the folder will have the name of the file, I think.

Then you click on the link (the name, not the file icon) to the file, which is actually the folder.   It will open the folder. Then look in the same upper left corner and you will see "Rename Folder".  Change it to whatever you like.

To add files to this folder, click on the "Add files" link on the right side of the same page.  

When googling for this information today, it seems that this should be improved soon as their forum had several inquiries on this.  It is definitely not intuitive at all.

Hope this helps.

Edit:  Added clarification in italics.

I saw in the Twitter feed, A dropbox type service called Minus. 10gigs, Sounds awful good. Does anyone know much about it?

You are so welcome Tex.  I am glad to assist you, for a change,  .  It is so easy but again, not intuitive at all.

This is great. I can embed photos without having to use tinypic and their captcha. I hope they stay free for a while.

Just a heads up, Tex. License is Copyright Minus Inc. And the executable is binary.

I'm going to ask permission to package it for PCLinuxos users.

And on that note, it's looking like we're gonna be the first of the RPM-based distro to pack Minus Desktop Tools ... unless rpmbone is hiding sumptin from me again. Yay, go, Tex ... Go!

It is a binary executable, isn't it Tex?

Yes, seems self contained except for the qt4 libs. I can't get the drag and drop to work by dragging a picture from dolphin to the taskbar because the popup box comes up in the wrong location on the KDE desktop. It does work properly in LXDE. Maybe a bug in the program.
