So, I just finished making my list of Windows apps (and Mac equivalents). It includes about 50 apps for Mac and Windows, which essentially offer the same features. The new, fancy HTML table is below! Note that these aren’t necessarily the best Mac apps, but they’re free equivalents to Windows apps.

Pando is a file-sharing app that lets you send files to people through their email, with a 1GB attachment size limit. Uploads at about 100kb/second max, but has fast download. Note: both users must have Pando installed, because Pando uses its own link file format (.pando).

Rating: 4/5. Good, but turning into a commercial-ware style app with its ads.

Developer Site: Pando.com
