File-sharing service Zecter has opened up in private beta, for which the Silicon Valley-based startup that has taken funding from Y Combinator and Tandem Ventures has provided GigaOM with 150 invites that can be accessed here.

The service has numerous features aimed at simplifying the sharing process, including the ability to sync files, track file access and retract shared documents, as well as to open a file directly from the browser in any desktop application, make edits, and save the changes back to the web.

LeapFILE is great for businesses, but it’s a paid service, so for individuals/everyday users, there’s this new site that’s coming out called Jumpsend.
