GigaTribe launches Version 3 of its file-sharing software

GigaTribe of France, a publisher of community file-sharing software, has launched Version 3 of its GigaTribe software for sharing photos, videos and large documents over the internet. Unlike the many existing storage solutions where files are copied on to a third-party server, GigaTribe allows direct PC-to-PC sharing.

“We came to realise that many communities were using GigaTribe in addition to their forums to share large files. With GigaTribe Version 3, we are giving communities the opportunity to create customised versions that will fit perfectly into their world,” says Alexis Leseigneur, co-founder of GigaTribe.

GigaTribe’s file-sharing software solution, which is already used by over a million people, offers many benefits. There are no limits on the quantity or size of shared files, while photos and videos retain their original quality. Shared files are not entrusted to any third party, which ensures confidentiality.

Customised versions of the package enable users to adapt the software interface to include community colours and logos. The community administrator can communicate with all users via the software’s News window. Each user may search for contacts within his or her community who also use the software.

GigaTribe Version 3 also includes various new features designed to appeal to users. The latest shared files are displayed using a different colour for faster detection, while shared items can be customised with a picture or a comment. The chat interface has been fully redesigned and offers the same functionalities as that of the best chat software on the market. A private blog enables users to post messages that are only visible within their private network.

GigaTribe Version 3 was released on 16 September 2009 in both a free version and an Ultimate version. The Ultimate version offers faster uploads and downloads, as well as straightforward connections (no technical configuration required) and easy access to shared files from anywhere via a web browser. The Ultimate version costs Ł2.99 per month or Ł19.99 per year.
