Let's say you want to share a PDF with some HN readers in a comment, you can quickly upload the document and share the view link with others. No registration, sign in and all the other stuff.

You could have the document on your server. But believe it or not, several people do not have servers to host documents they may want to share publicly.

I think if you wanted to quickly share a ppt or pdf without much control over the document, then Doxela is much faster to achieve your goal. It's like what Scribd would be if they wanted to do a lite.scribd.com.




Most PDFs I want to share are taken from an online source, so I'd just link to that source.

When it isn't, it's usually a document that I'm sharing with a couple people (I would email it).

I don't remember the last time that I needed to share a document publicly that I didn't just find online. Since this is such a rare occasion, I probably wouldn't remember this site and just use something more general like dropbox.

I don't really see much advantage of this over dropbox. Actually, I prefer my pdf reader over google's since the find feature works better.

Sorry. Maybe I'm not the target of your app though.

Oh, also, it didn't work for me using safari.

One more thing: The text you see after a file is deleted has a grammar mistake: "Your document succesfully deleted."


Thanks Frazzydee for all the feedback. All taken into consideration. And thanks for catching the grammatical error.


No problem..I actually felt really guilty after writing that for having nothing but negative things to say :(

Wish you all the best with it!
