This freeware application lets you upload your favorite files to an online account, as long as you don't exceed 1GB with all of your items. eSnips is a companion for a Web site of the same name and you'll need to create a free account on the site before getting started. The program writes to the system tray and you can go directly to your account on the Web site with a left-click or open a small interface from the right-click menu. You'll find links to help you select and upload Web pages, files, photos, and videos, or use the built-in tool to capture screenshots. The last of the six icons is My eSnips, which lets you add personal information to your online account profile. We like the links to get more information, but it proved easier to access each of the tools. Internet Explorer users can add a toolbar to the browser window that offers the same functionality. This user-friendly application can help anyone upload files to an eSnips.com account.

noxious garbage
csttteMarch 26, 2011
Pros
I got the file I wanted, but only by installing and running this thing in a "quarantine" virtual machine I have set up specifically to test bombs like this for malware and virii. I'm glad I didn't run it on my actual computer.
Cons
I've tried my hardest not to compare this thing to AIDS, but I guess I just failed. Other reviews describing what exactly it does to your system and personal data is accurate.
Summary
I was moved to write this review not because of the program itself. Trash like this is business as usual for the net. What alarms me is the head-scratchingly high editor's ratings. This sort of oversight reflects poorly on what I've always viewed as a somewhat reliable guide to whether I'm downloading a useful tool or a live grenade. I didn't let this thing damaged my system or the integrity of my personal data, but it has sadly damaged my faith in this and other sites to warn users about dangerous software.
This is not a software. This is a malware.
mechgoukiOctober 17, 2010
Pros
Nothing. If you consider unauthorized modification to your Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers' settings having everything changed, such as your homepage and your default search, to everything about Esnips, then yes, this would be a con.
Cons
My personal experience, the download that I tried could not work. In short, I got nothing out of this. But that's the least of my concerns. This is not just a software, this is a MALWARE!
Summary
What this software does is nothing short of malware. It does not seek your permission, and it changes most of your settings in Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers. These changes include the starting homepage, search sites, etc. I guess they forgot to include the fine print: "Warning, software will attempt to take over your life." If I wanted such an intrusive change on my browsers, I would have asked for it. In short, if you like a software that does unauthorized and intrusive changes to your browers, than go for this. If not, I suggest you steer clear, and never touch it. Whatever Esnips or their software promised you, IT IS NOT WORTH IT!
This Shit wants access to FF passwords & has SPYWARE
esnipssucksOctober 3, 2010
Pros
Nothing. Its just a piece of crap without a proper uninstaller which wants to communicate with their servers to pass on secretly the private data from users system and also the bookmakrs, passwords and other data from Firefox and IE. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
Cons
Everything is SHIT. PURE SHIT. SPYWARE and WANTS ACCESS TO YOUR BANKING PASSWORDS AND READS YOUR REGISTRY AND SENDS TO eSnips. THIS PIECE OF CRAP SUCKS BALLS.
Summary
Nothing. Its just a piece of crap without a proper uninstaller which wants to communicate with their servers to pass on secretly the private data from users system and also the bookmakrs, passwords and other data from Firefox and IE. DO NOT DOWNLOAD. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IF YOU VALUE YOUR PRIVACY AND SECURITY.
ESNIPS has stopped users downloading songs....
rakeshganjuDecember 7, 2007
Pros
Cons
Hello! <p>I am sure what has been done in ESNIPS is affecting many of the other users in esnips. About 80% of the users of esnips have been downloading the songs and if the same is disabled then what remains the difference between esnips and smashits or anyother online site. <p>So, please try to get esnips back the same way as it was couple of days back. <p>If you think I am not speaking sense then try to go for voting for the same and lets go with the results. <p>Regards <p>Rock
Summary
Great Prgram, except for beta limitations
ryanseeleyJanuary 4, 2007
Pros
Great program. Works easily, even providing for use with right mouse click.
Cons
I would like to see the beta restrictions lifted (i.e. individual 50 MB file size limitation and 500 total files per upload). Also, it would be great to see it have a network drive client allowing drag and drop functionality.
Summary
just grate!
download_meMay 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.
Cons
Summary
Not just software
RagetApril 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

Help! Norton Won't Let Me Access The Program!
Son of SpamApril 14, 2006
Pros
The reviews looked positive so I had downloaded the program. Once I had installed it, my Norton Internet Security asked if I wanted to "Block Access Always (Recommended)". Unfortunately I hit the "OK" button and now it won't let me access eSnips. Since I don't know whether this software is good or bad, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. But if anyone can tell me how to reconfigure Norton to allow me access to the program, it would be greatly apprecated, I realize this isn't the proper forum, but I wasn't sure where else to go. <p> <p>By the way...when I try to Sign In to the program, I get the following message: <p> <p> <p>Unknown error 0x800A1521
Cons
See Above.
Summary
it's free
skizzApril 9, 2006
Pros
1 gb of storage for files, photos, movies or something off a web page. it's free
Cons
toolbars. i hate tool bars.
Summary
Great free software product
goldengreekeApril 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.
