> Receivd - beautiful, fast filesharing for everyone

Everyone who has a Mac? Or everyone? I only see screenshots of a Mac app. There are sketches of other apps, but I'm guessing those do not exist yet.

“Real time file sharing” as a tagline seems kind of meaningless. Two reasons I don't like it: a) real-time seems overly technical, and b) real-time is implied. No one expects that there would be a delay (beyond the amount of time it takes to send the file.)

Finally, this seems like it occupies a weird grey area between dropbox and email. All the examples you give are things that I can easily do with email. If email proves to be too much of a hassle, I have to convince people to use something else, and teach them how it works. Between this and dropbox, why do I choose this?

Minor point: To look at all 4 screenshots in large-o-vision, I have to first click one, then close it, click the next, and so on. Arrows within the lightbox would be appreciated.

Also, I realize this sounds kind of harsh, but I don't mean it too—I'm just putting out there the first things that come to mind. I think there actually is room between dropbox and email, but you're going to have to work a little bit on positioning your product properly to define that space.
