CommanderGoat - reddit.com	Our company had been using wiredrive since the very early days, then our company got bought out. We switched to Simian because of cost. We had nothing but problems with Simian for months. Example: we posted a cut SPOTNAME.mov. The agency looked at it and said "we need to add this new music, but keep the file named SPOTNAME.mov so our client doesn't get confused." No problem, just delete the old file with no music, add the new file with new music. For whatever reason, Simian would still play the old file even though it was deleted. It wasn't a browser caching problem either. This was just one problem we had. The agencies we worked with started complaining and actually said they wished we would switch back, so we did.Format support has been fine for us. H.264 and ProRes QT, MP4s, WMVs. The 30MB limit, I don't know what they are talking about. Everything we post is minimum 40MB+ and very often upwards of 100MB. I've uploaded files pushing 1 GB with no problems. We also use the library for building show reels. Yeah, we've had problems with it, but nothing that was major. The only reason our company switched was cost because it is pricey.
WhatTheFDR - reddit.com	Wiredrive will let you generate separate links and passwords for each. Also you can disable downloads, forwarding, etc. They won't let you set a max amount of views (not sure why you'd want this), but you can set an expiration date to kill the link.If you want more lockdown look into media silo. Netflix and large studios use it.
