Obsolescent filemail

A blast from the past!

Filemail was a file transfer service that was popular in the 1990s and early 2000s. It allowed users to send large files over the internet, often when other file transfer methods were not reliable or available.

Filemail was known for its ease of use and its ability to handle large files, including multimedia files like audio and video. The service was often used by individuals and businesses to transfer files between different locations, and it was particularly popular among musicians, artists, and other creatives who needed to share large files with collaborators.

However, with the rise of faster internet speeds, cloud storage services like Dropbox and Google Drive, and other file transfer methods, Filemail's popularity began to decline. The service was eventually discontinued, and the company behind it, Filemail Ltd., went out of business.

Today, the term "Filemail" is often used nostalgically to refer to the early days of the internet and the challenges of transferring large files over dial-up connections.
