Big File Desktop Send Widget Released on Ricoh quanp

Ricoh Company, Ltd. announced a desktop widget that allows users of its visual online storage service quanp, currently in beta, easy ways to share large files up to 500MB direct from a user’s computer desktop.

quanp provides 10GB of free online storage and advanced search and
tagging capabilities for quick management of files and documents. All
files sent with the quanp send widget are backed up in the user’s online
account automatically. The widget displays animations while files are
being sent, customizable by the user.

"People are producing bigger and bigger files these days as they take
pictures and videos of family and friends that they want to hold on to
for a long time. There’s got to be an easy way to share them without
running into size limits in your email account and elsewhere," said Sho Harada, senior manager of quanp. "With
the quanp send widget, it’s so easy and intuitive that even older
generations less comfortable with computers can easily share pictures
and videos whenever they want."

Ricoh Company, Ltd. announced
private beta testing of their new visual online storage service quanp
in the summer of 2009. Users have been testing quanp’s innovative 3D
visual search as an intuitive way to collect, store and share personal
photos, videos and other files. quanp continues to add ways to access
these ‘digital life memories.’ Both a Windows client and a browser

send widget, quanp also introduced quanp drop, an animated widget that
sits on the desktop with easy automatic drag-and-drop uploading, and
quanp slideshow, a photo slideshow application making it easy to display
and comment on photos.
