The Nintendo Wii Referral Contest has just ended, and we would like to congratulate user ameizlik, who had 48 referrals! You can see the final results here.

Overall, the contest was a success, and we certainly plan on running similar contests with even larger prizes in the near future. Thanks to everyone who participated!

50 New Users Today!

We are only a few days in and so far the Nintendo Wii contest is going strong. There were already 50 new sign-ups today.

Now while there are a few users who are slowly distancing themselves from the rest in the contest, please note that these rankings are unofficial. When the contest is over, we will take a look at all of the top users and ensure that their referrals are 100% legitimate.

So, if you got a late start in the contest, don't worry, there's still plenty of time!

Another Update: Windows Desktop Application v1.2.0
April 8, 2008 12:44 AM | (0 comments)
Shortly after the release of v1.1.9, we have just updated to v1.2.0. We apologize for the quick update, but we fixed a small problem when you choose to auto-start the application when Windows starts. It is fixed now though, so be sure to update your version.

Again, if you have Windows Vista, we STRONGLY encourage you to try out the Windows Desktop Application if you haven't already.

To download v1.2.0, see our add-ons page.

We have just uploaded a newer, more stable version of the Windows Desktop Application. If you have Windows Vista (works on Windows XP, as well), we strongly encourage you to try it out. Using the application truly revolutionizes the file storage process.

For more information or to download v1.1.9, see our add-ons page.

New Design Launched

After a few months of hard work, we are happy to finally release our new design! We will be posting more detailed news in the next few days highlighting some small, new features.

Also, stay tuned for our Nintendo Wii Bundle Giveaway!

Feature Friday - Multiple Downloads
January 12, 2008 11:34 AM | (0 comments)
Yes, Feature Friday on a Saturday, a day late. This week's feature to highlight is the ability to download multiple files at once. If you go in your Gigmax and select the checkbxoes next to all the files you wish to download, then click the Download icon (disk) from the toolbar, it will automatically create a .zip file for you to download that contains all of the selected files.

On a side note, we now have over 400 users and over 7,000 files being stored!

Feature Friday - Selecting Multiple Files to Upload
January 4, 2008 2:18 PM | (0 comments)
Going along the same lines as the previous Friday's Feature highlight, we would like to point out that you may select many files to upload by using our Advanced, Multiple File Uploader. To do so, after you click the Browse button, use the Control and Shift Keys to select them all at once. Hold down either of these keys and click on the files you wish to upload. All of these will then be added to your file upload list.

Feature Friday - Advanced, Multiple File Uploader
December 21, 2007 4:19 PM | (0 comments)
As posted yesterday, every Friday from now on, we will quickly highlight an already-existing feature on our site that you may not have known about.

Today's feature is our advanced, multiple file uploader. As weird as it may sound, some users do not know this exists, and only use the simple file uploader located on the My Files page. To access our advanced uploader, simply click on the Upload Files link in the subnavigation bar below the My Gigmax tab.

So, what's next?
December 20, 2007 12:30 PM | (0 comments)
First, every Friday from now on will be known as "Feature Friday," where we will highlight an already-existing feature that you may not have known about.

For the next week, we will be making small edits and changes to the current site, most of which probably won't even be noticeable.

As for our next big features, we have been working on a music player, which will allow you to listen to your uploaded music right from our site.   Also in the near future, you will be able to create and join private groups, which will allow you and others you invite to all upload and download files to one place.  For example, if you have a team project to do, all the members of your team can join a group, where they can upload all their work so the others can download and edit it.

Folder/Directory Organization Released
November 19, 2007 12:51 AM | (0 comments)
We have just released our folders organization feature for your My Files page. You may now organize all your files into directories. If you find any problems with this feature, please contact us and let us know.

Folders Feature
November 6, 2007 3:51 PM | (0 comments)
Just a quick update: We are about a week away from launching our folders feature. As previously mentioned, this will allow you to organize all your files into folders in your Gigmax.

On a side note, we have broken the 5000 stored files mark and have over 330 users.

What's to Come
September 29, 2007 4:22 PM | (0 comments)
Well, first, we are nearing in on 300 users and 4,000 stored files (about 2.5 new users and 33 new files per day).

Second, we are going to be spending the next week or so cleaning up the site, adding small features, and fixing any other problems that we come across. After this, we will be developing our next big feature, a folder system for your Gigmax, so you can better organize your files. Once this is done, we will be adding features to the Windows Desktop Application to allow you to upload entire folders on your computer to your Gigmax with just the click of a button. Stay tuned for more info!

Gigmax Albums: Launched
September 21, 2007 7:58 PM | (0 comments)

Well, the time has come. As you might know, we have been working diligently for the past few months developing a revolutionary interface to create photo albums. We have just released this new feature, so be sure to check it out. It was uniquely designed to allow you to add captions and rotate photos, as they upload, eliminating the expected wait time that other photo album websites have.  For a help guide on how to create a photo album, please visit here.


Update: WDA v1.1.2
August 28, 2007 1:54 PM | (0 comments)
We have just released a small update for our Windows Desktop Application. You may now choose to upload your files as public by accessing the Options menu (right-click the Gigmax icon in the bottom right-hand corner). Prior to this, all files could only be uploaded as private.

Gigmax Albums: Coming Soon
July 25, 2007 2:37 PM | (0 comments)
Its been awhile, so we are just updating you on the progress of our photo albums feature. After weeks of development, we are slowly approaching completion. We expect to continue working on it and testing it over the next 2 weeks, aiming for an early-to-mid August release. Our ultimate goal is to have a more efficient, easier way to create photo albums to share with your family and friends. Stay tuned for more updates.

Final Stable Version: WDA v1.1.0
July 2, 2007 5:02 PM | (0 comments)
We are just updating you on the status of our Windows Desktop Application Add-on. We have released our final stable version, v1.1.0. All of the small bugs should be fixed now so be sure to download the latest version in our Add-on section.

WDA v1.0.9 & What's Next
June 22, 2007 3:57 PM | (0 comments)
We have again updated our Windows Desktop Application to v1.0.9. With this release, you can choose to have the application start each time you start-up your computer. This works nicely with the "Remember my login info" option, so your computer is essentially always logged into your Gigmax by default. This should be one of our last update releases of the application for some time now.

So what's next? Well, we are currently working on a My Albums section, so you can upload all your photos and create albums to show your friends. This feature will have some unique features, different from what you normally see with the other photo storage sites out there. We expect to release this within the next 10-14 days, so continue to check back.

Gigmarks Windows Application Update Released

We have just released our Gigmarks feature to our Windows Desktop Application. With the application running, you can type Control + G on any website and it will automatically save the website in your Gigmarks section. See our Add-ons page to download v.1.0.8.

June 12, 2007 4:03 PM | (0 comments)

Preview: Windows Desktop Application v1.0
June 8, 2007 3:18 PM | (0 comments)
We expect to release the Windows Desktop Application Add-on within the next few days. Below is a link to some screenshots demonstrating how it will work; they are pretty self-explanatory. Basically, you will be able to simply right-click files on your computer and click Send To > My Gigmax (Step 2 of the preview below), then the files will immediately begin being uploaded to your Gigmax. Unfortunately, at the moment it is only Windows compatible. http://www.gigmax.com/preview/wda1/

As promised, we are just updating you that after working out a few minor bugs, our Gigmax Beta launch was a success! Feel free to use the entire site now.

We will be adding a new major feature every two weeks or so, so make sure you check back often. Our next feature will be our Gigmax Desktop Application. We will post more information about this as we get closer to releasing it.

We have just launched Gigmax Beta! Over the next 24 hours, we will be looking for any small bugs that may have occurred while transferring the site over from our test location. We will update you again once everything is 100% working correctly. In the mean time, feel free to register for your own Gigmax and begin to upload files.
