Filemailer transfer app
Altomac has launched Filemailer for the Mac, a utility that simplifies the task of transferring files via email. The software allows a user to quickly move data files – such as PDFs, images, and documents – without needing to open an email program and compose an email for the sole purpose of sending a file.
