One thing that our computers are still comically bad at is sharing large files between each other. E-mail is hopeless for large files and sharing services are too complicated, a post on Gadget Lab says.
The new ITwin device comes to solve this problem. The double-ended USB dongle breaks in two and plugs into two different computers, allowing you to transfer files between them over the Internet. These computers can be Macs or PCs, and the only other requirement is that they be switched on and online, the post says.
The dongle auto-installs its software the first time you plug it in, and the two halves generate and share an encryption key between themselves whilst still joined together. Then, when split, the second part can be plugged into any machine and files are transferred back and forth, it says.
The iTwin is available now for $100.
