How do you send videos?


posted Monday, September 10, 2012

We've been asking visitors to the SDI stand at IBC2012 (Hall 9, B26) this question: How do you send video files to your clients? The answers vary dramatically:
- Send via FTP or a file transfer service
- Use a shared storage folder
- Upload a public or password-protected file to a video sharing website.
- Send a DVD by courier.

If you send or share video files with colleagues or clients, we'd love to hear how you do it. We think Beamshare can make this process so much easier and your answers will help us to do this.

So, how do you do it? Please let us know.
