  "Great free software product"

  by goldengreeke on April 9, 2006

  Pros: You can upload, share, and publish just about anything under a GB. CableguyTK said it all. I can't think of a thing to add that he didn't say.

  Cons: However, in the next version, the software writer need to make this work with out the tool bar. Many of us users only use Opera as our default browser. I won't use IE until it becomes more safe and secure, maybe when Windows Vista comes out next year.

  "Its better than Yahoo! My Web 2.0 Beta. Another niche product though."

  by CableguyTK on April 9, 2006

  Pros: Its free.

  Its a service which many people want: a storage area for one to save images from the web, images from home, webpages, etc. You are given 1GB with which to upload stuff from home or the web.

  Lets you make stuff private and/or public, your choice.

  The options on what to save are very nice: save picture, save webpage, save link to page, save highlighted image or text, and take a screencapture in a defined area to upload to the server.

  Quite easy to upload pictures from home.

  Uploading is not just a send-file process. The process includes a recommended tagging process, where you give certain search terms which the content you are uploading will appear on the search page for. This really helps to avoid modifying pictures later.

  The search bar searches for content on the eSnips website.

  Its better than Yahoo! Web Beta in my opinion, which is basically the same kind of service, however it is limited to uploading just copies of a webpage directly from the web.

  Cons: The product description fails to mention 1) that it includes the necessary Internet Explorer toolbar, 2) requires that the software requires a login (which is free) to the site. Two things which aren't major but should be noted in the product description.

  The toolbar is manditory. Would be neat to see some secondary means up achieving the features of this program. Maybe a running process with some right-click context menu entries which access the program?

  The functions are only available in the toolbar, no right-click context menu entries.

  Being that it requires the toolbar to get the full experience, it would seem one is limited to using IE with this software.

  Uploading images from the web is the worst. Have to highlight the image (which isn't always possible with some webpages) then click the button in the toolbar to save selection. Would prefer an entry in the right-click context menu.

  Considering that there is a feature to upload a LINK to a website, it would be neat in the future to see a feature to upload one's IE favorites for remote storage.

  Im not really big on building a whole archive of stuff I like. I store it all locally...so I really dont feel the need for this software. But its the best Ive tried so far for this kind of service.

  "Not just software"

  by Raget on April 30, 2006

  Pros: It isnt only software, its a service too. Really good. 1Gb and publically avaliable!

  Cons: Not sure it belongs on download.com. It isnt exactly a sole download by itself, not stand alone

  "just grate!"

  by download_me on May 5, 2006

  Pros: Esnips is grate service I have to agree with Reviewer: Raget (cons section) but never the less the service they provide is excellent 1GB free space yes 1 gigabyte. I think it's a grate service. If you are looking for a place to back-up some important files (anything really) then esnips is a good place. I have noticed negative comments about the toolbar, but for me the toolbar is really good and I found it easy to use. Overall I was happy with the service. My advice is to you is go to there website and see what others have done and maybe create a account and try it out.
