Google added File Transfer Feature in Orkut and iGoogle Chat

Friends, this is a very useful feature added by Google in Orkut and iGoogle chat. This is a file transfer feature through which you can send a file to your online friends from within the chat windows. Now no need to login into your mailbox for sending files. Just click on ‘send a file’ option and attach the file to be sent. This feature has not been implemented in Gmail yet but Google has the wise plan to do so soon :) .

Below is an extract from official Google Blog.

Have you ever wanted to quickly send a file to a friend who’s online? Now you can share pictures, documents and other files directly with your friends while chatting in iGoogle and orkut, without having to switch to email to send the file as an attachment. File transfer works directly in the browser so you don’t need to install anything. Just start a conversation with a friend and click “Send a file…” in the “Actions” menu. After you select a file, your friend will be asked if they want to accept the transfer. You can learn more on the Google Talkabout Blog.
