Hi Alex and list.
I have an account on blind file sharing and i've also spoken to
the administrator over the text chat system on the zone bbs and
via email. I'm helping to test the site with mobile devices like
the braillenote. The site works quite well, but there are a few
problems. For example, if you use the "Email link" feature and
send it to a braillenote, the message will say: "Please use a
compatible HTML viewer to read this message." I'm in talks with
the admin at the moment and hopefully these problems should be
resolved soon! But apart from a few minor problems, the site is
very good and very accessible!

Subject: [Braillenote] file sharing site!
Hi all,
I have not signed up for this so cannot say how well it works
with the bn, but I found this site:
http://www.blindfilesharing.com
The site is a file sharing site, but designed for blind people,
with no advertisements, captchas, graphics, or anythingl that.
Here is a section of their homepage:
An account fee of 2 dollars is charged on the first day of each
month. Account payments can be made in increments of 10 dollars.
The minimum payment is 10 dollars. There is no file size limit.
You can store as many files as you want. There is no charge for
storing more files in your account.
You can pay either 2 cents per file, regardless of size, or 75
cents per gigabyte (I get the impression that this is on top of
the account fees above). The bn cannot ftp, so file management
may be difficult, but there you have it. Enjoy!
Have a great day,
Alex
