What operating system do you have? How are you wanting to send a .skp file? E-mail?
floppy disk

Aha. Sorry. I saw that but didn't know what it was exactly. I'm a Windows person. =P

Cloud computing with a multi-user license on the server? If so, how do they afford the pro license?

the sub-versions are named after cats (jaguar,panther,tiger, etc.) -
Maybe it runs an evaluation copy?-)

I am just going by their web page.

haha!
[edit] but those aren't pussycats..
likewise, i'm willing to bet mac users get more... err.. cats. -
Hmmm. Looks like this was removed from the store. It says it was removed by the author though so I don't think Google took it down.

An interesting concept! Yes, the link appears to be gone. I visited the Roozz site, here, http://www.roozz.com/index.html Also I located this video which explains the process Roozz - Makes software grow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSpXDq1G5MQ&feature=related

I wish this had been taken down before I tried it.
It completely reset my local copy of sketchup. All my plugins were gone, and it has wiped out all my keyboard shortcuts. All style settings, default templates, etc.. were reset when I installed the roozz plugin.
I have restored my plugins by uninstalling the software, but I still have at least a few hours to built the rest of my settings back to how they should be.
Consider yourselves lucky if you didn't get to try this. I don't know exactly how it worked, but I think it just displayed your local copy of sketchup in a browser.

Wow! Thanks for the warning Dan
-
Wow. I'm really sorry about that Dan.
If I had known, I wouldn't have posted it. It didn't do anything to me. Maybe it's because I am running version 7. The app ran version 8. Which version do you have? -

That is too bad.Browser plugins running executables do in some way contradict to the idea of html/js standards and platform interoperability, as the plugins might not be available for all platforms (here: not for OS X and mobile devices). Running a locally installed SketchUp in a browser isn't the challenge, the rather interesting part is how to do this without installation and on any platform.
Out of interest, I tried it (in VirtualBox, don't try it on a productive system). They still offer SketchUp on their website (not anymore in the Google Web Store):
roz.s3.amazonaws.com/Sketchup8/Sketchup8.htm
It is a bad joke, it installs the "real" Windows SketchUp application (no converted version, as they claim) into the SketchUp folder (not into the Roozz folder) overwriting all registry keys. The application opens as a normal window and then it is redirected into a tab.
This is scamware. -
IMO, there is little value with running your own app. in a browser. If however, an occasional user could access SU pro as a server app for pennies, then running SU Pro in a browser could be an attraction.
