Some time ago I posted about YouSendIt, a free e-mail-based file sending service. If you’ve ever had to send large files and don’t have access to FTP, or the person you’re sending to doesn’t, this type of service is a great resource.
Other new web sites have emerged recently forover the net without attaching them to email. Usually these solutions work by sending an email with a link to the recepient. The link uploads the file from the company server to the recepient’s computer bypassing any email file size limitation.
Here are 3 examples of sites with larger file size limits than YouSendIt :
SendOver
File Size Limit: 2GB
Download Limit: Unlimited
File Life: 7 Days (Deleted only if there is no download activity in 7 days)
URL: http://www.sendover.com
FileFactory
File Size Limit: 1.5GB
Download Limit: 25 Downloads
File Life: 7 Days
URL: http://www.filefactory.com
MegaShares
File Size Limit: 1.5GB
Download Limit: Unlimited
File Life: 25 Days (Deleted only if there is no download activity in 25 days)
URL: http://www.megashares.com
If those choices are not enough, there is a large list of similar services that you can wade through. They are free and require no e-mail registration to use. Included in the list are file size limits, download limits and the amount of time the file remains on the server for download.
