Press Release: Smith Micro Launches StuffIt Deluxe 16
Nope, compression software ain’t sexy. But when you’ve gotta open that file, you’ve gotta open that file. Smith Micro Software has released the latest version of its popular StuffIt Deluxe software for Mac that provides several improvements to help embiggen or ensmallen files as your needs may be.
The new version is intended to make it easier to work with large files. Using its Destinations feature, you can send files wherever you want including popular cloud services Dropbox, Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive. Other improved features allow you to more easily browse archives, access StuffIt features directly through the Finder and open any archive, with more than 30 compression formats support.
Smith Micro’s full press release about the new software is included below:
ALISO VIEJO, CA – August 28, 2014 – Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI) Productivity
and Graphics group today launched StuffIt Deluxe® 16 for Mac with Cloud Services Integration, a new
cloud-based file transfer feature that lets users send large files without the hassle of email attachments or
FTP. With the new release, more than 16 million StuffIt users can safely and easily share high quality
photos, videos, music and more using the most popular cloud storage services, such as Dropbox®,
Google Drive®, Microsoft OneDrive® and SendStuffNow®.
StuffIt provides best-in-class, patented compression methods for pixel-perfect compression of image files,
audio files, PDFs and more. StuffIt works with virtually all file types and compression formats to ensure
that photos, music, videos, PowerPoint presentations and other large files are shared or stored securely for
personal or professional needs. And now, StuffIt Deluxe 16 eliminates the manual burden of sharing files
by automatically uploading them directly to the user’s favorite cloud-based file transfer account via a new
StuffIt Destinations feature.
Creative professionals such as advertising executives, graphic designers and photographers can use StuffIt
to prevent lengthy delays in sending large files, reduce the risk of losing valuable information, and ensure
confidential data is protected. For independent contractors and small firms, bandwidth is an important
cost element that drives the economics of their businesses. A 30 percent reduction in package size results
in significant bandwidth savings. StuffIt uses exclusive, patent-protected technology to compress images
to the minimum possible size without losing a single pixel of data. For professionals and hobbyists
alike, using StuffIt means you don’t have to sacrifice image quality, delivery speed and secure storage to
manage electronic files cost-effectively.
