DiffNow: Compare Files Online

[psguru]

We're excited to announce that we're launching an online comparison utility: DiffNow.

DiffNow is powered by ExamDiff Pro and allows you to compare text files, documents, binary files, and archives up to 500KB in size, either by uploading the files or by entering their URLs.

DiffNow is still in beta, and we welcome your feedback.

It would be nice to be able to paste and edit the file name, because usually I am comparing the same file in 2 different very long directory paths, where only the first thing in the path is different

Browser security doesn't allow file input controls to be populated like this.

You can, however, paste and edit the file name or use the drop-down within the File Open dialog that pops up.

Hi,
Thanks for making such a nice post. I really appreciate it keep it up please.

I would like to see something about how you will be handling this data. I would like to have some changes to customer files in an area they can view, but the customer files are confidential restricted information. I can't put that data on a web-site that may not protect the data (or worse yet, distribute the data!).

I can find no FAQ's or user agreements that speak to the confidentiality of the posted data.
