I am a PM at one of the largest automotive marketplaces and I am working on understanding the future of car ownership and what "transacting vehicles online" really means in 2018.

So I have a question for the HN community: What would make you have enough confidence to buy a car on the internet?

Unhappy with what we found on the market, we took a challenge of making a real-time communication tool that organizes information around people and context instead of files and folders.

We built the product and just got $1.1M bucks to take it further ("just" as in "ink is still drying"): http://ow.ly/eoXYE

Link to product: www.titanfile.com

Key concepts: -Messages and files are organized around people and context -Real time notifications and updates using WebSockets -Blind party encryption -We believe in freemium so it's free for personal use -Drag and drop interface for files and contacts -Ability to track who, where, how and when accessed the files -People don't need another file storage place, so we want to pull files from various services - Cross platform (iOS, Web & Blackberry)

What is coming soon: - Integration with share-point & google drive - Android app - Support for intelligent search and tagging

Any other suggestions?

We launched on March 17th and thanks to hackernews it was a success so more infrastructure means that we can now offer encrypted storage and transfer on our free accounts as well. Blessed be cheap storage.

TitanFile is the easiest way to send and receive confidential documents over the internet, with reporting, identity verification (via automated phone call) and certainty of receipt.

Our data center is in Canada, what that means for some of our paranoid clients - is that documents transferred using TitanFile cannot be audited by US government.

If you decide to give it a shot, use CANADA60 as a coupon code for 60 days of premium plan access (no credit card required, that's just wrong for a trial run)

Read-only HTML5 viewer is coming soon and we are looking for feature suggestions.

Thanks peeps!
